Hi,

Last week at FOSS Backstage one of the topics Sharan discussed in her talk was 
IIRC the responsibility that comes with running an and participating in an open 
source project. One of the topics related to keeping an eye on your own well 
being as well as on your peers.

At Apache we have a couple resources that warn against things like 
volunteeritis, over committing and the like. I'm not sure how visible these 
are, also I'm not sure if Apache projects in general are aware of the topic of 
mental health.

IANAL, but AFAIK at least in Germany, mental health legally is treated the same 
way as physical health when it comes to employer liability (someone with better 
"legal English" skills, please correct my wording). While we are not an 
employer, would it make sense to offer some material on the topic to community 
members? I would guess that we wouldn't need to produce any new content, but 
maybe just link to and endorse existing stuff we already have? (Maybe we 
already do that, it's been a while since I was a new committer reading through 
the getting started docs, so anyone who is new - feedback welcome.)

Isabel
