We need to expand our tech tree

Wetfish needs more doctors and chemists and stuff like that.

Why?

What can we do to get more people from other fields interested in the community?

Probably make the wetfish community interfaces more accessible to people who aren't computer nerds. The website chat is a great start. I think IRC can be overwhelming to normies - after two years of relying on group chats and discord, irc is suddenly claustrophobic (to me).

Does a bike nerd and electrical engineer help?

Wetfish needs more doctors and chemists and stuff like that. We've got plenty of computer nerds.

Befriend people in those fields and show them how dope wet fish it. I'm not a chemist or any of that, but you got me here and I'm in the social work field. You'll probably see me posting about mutual aid, direct action, social justice, and various trainings on deescalation/etc. (i.e social work related topics) Are there any other social worl folks in this community?

Hey Rachel, what kind of things should we say if we wish to invite our peers to wetfish?

That really depends on the person. We're an open source community of people interested in open-source software and making things. I tend to describe wetfish like a virtual makerspace

Some people are interested in the software / tech, other people are more interested in the community aspect. Or maybe you could mention our nature conservation and habitat restoration projects. It's up to you to decide what your friends would be most interested in
