Wrote about how we opted to update @ohmyz.sh's contribution guidelines to account for AI. If anything, I wanted to capture where my brain is at on the topic, should we need to revisit this in 6-12 months.

Hey, do you hang out on Discord and use @ohmyz.sh? We could use a few more volunteer moderators.
Here’s what’s involved
github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmy...
If interested, we’ll assume you know how to find us.
No resume. No code contributions required. Just a willingness to keep this space both useful and delightful.
Interested? Get in touch and we’ll follow up.
We’re looking for a few more Discord moderators!
If you use Oh My Zsh often and can point people to the proper channels, we should talk. If you can also help keep spam bots from turning the server into a circus, even better.
If you’ve ever thought “I should get more involved with open source”… this is one of those moments.
ProTip: You can now run `omz shop` in your terminal to browse the new @ohmyz.sh shop location. (may require an `omz update`)
What are you hacking on today?
When’s the last time you experimented with a different font in your terminal?
Drop your favorite below... maybe you’ll inspire someone to try something new (or be inspired yourself).
Your shell deserves nice things. 🌈
It’s a good morning to discover a new (to you) Oh My Zsh plugin.
Give your shell a little surprise: 👉 github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmy...
Happy Friday, Z-Pals!

You might notice...
- Zero plugins
- Zero themes
- Zero vision for the future.
Yet, nearly 2500 developers showed up to contribute code to what it is today.
You already use Oh My Zsh.
You already believe tools should feel good to use.
Sponsoring isn’t charity. It’s stewardship.

The @ohmyz.sh core team retreat tonight to see an NBA game. Swing by our @github.com Universe booth tomorrow for stickers and smiles.
Are you heading to GitHub Universe in San Francisco next week? Be sure to say hi at our booth on Day 2 in the open source area.
Robby Russell (creator of Oh My Zsh) says the act of programming is less exciting than what you can do with it.
Do you agree? 🤔

Could you be more specific about what these perceived "red flags" were?
Did you know that we have a Discord?

Strap in geeks, we're on a wild ride! Fast cars and beautiful terminal shells pair well together. Picking up my new wheels that @ohmyz.sh sponsors helped pay for.
I am not sure who needs to hear this, but if you are an @ohmyz.sh user and you are not using the `take` command, you are doing yourself a disservice. Next time you need to clone a repo, do a `take `. I'll wait.... and you're welcome.
Who is heading to GitHub Universe later this month in SF?
I'll be there helping represent @ohmyz.sh in the open source fun time zone, or whatever they're calling it this year. 🙃
Also, who needs a hat?

Last year, they invited me to kick things off with a talk about the 15-year story of building @ohmyz.sh. A weekend side project that slowly grew into a global community I never could have predicted.
What started as a weekend experiment is now on terminals everywhere.
Check out @robbyonrails.com talk at @squiggleconf.com about how Oh My Zsh grew into something much bigger than expected.
Thinking about freshening up your terminal setup?
Maybe your laptop wants a sticker, too.
