@mellifluousboxFelix Hlatky I’m reminded of my early days at the Open Knowledge Foundation 
@okfnOpen Knowledge Foundation , first as a volunteer and later as an ambassador in Brazil.
After some time, I suggested forming a local group. Due to my involvement, I later worked as a consultant. A member of the core organization coordinated local leadership, supported ambassadors, and held open meetings periodically. That structure was important.
Out of that structure, I founded Open Knowledge Brasil 
@okbrOpen Knowledge Brasil , which I ran for years before moving to Europe. Being close to people with strong communication and advocacy skills was invaluable, that's where I learned the most.
Today, I see similar energy in the Fediverse, with accounts such as 
@FediTips and 
@mastodonmigration. There are also communication professionals, for example, 
@hpod16Hannah Grace runs a highly strategic account for the 
@EUCommissionEuropean Commission. Or people like 
@bjoernstaBjörn Staschen , leading the awesome campaign #SaveSocial .
Resources may be limited, but there is clearly a passionate and capable community.
It might be worthwhile to find ways to involve and coordinate this existing expertise more intentionally.
