Lessons Learned Along the Road….
21
RULE #1
No two communities are exactly the same!
22
RULE #2
Communities don’t work for individual companies
23
UNDERSTAND COMMUNITY GOVERNANCE
• Each community is different
• Contributions need to ‘fit’ with other code/patches
24
UNDERSTAND COMMUNITY MOTIVATORS
• Successful communities are powered by motivated
people
• Motivation can be: status, money, peer recognition
25
BE CAREFUL OF ‘CUSTOM’ LICENSES
• Communities do not work well with ‘custom licenses’
• Gaining contributors/momentum requires low barriers

26
COMMUNITIES NEED NURTURING
• Posting code to public sites is not collaboration
• Community participation is a cycle – expect change
27
BE HUMBLE, BUT BOLD
• Community leadership is earned, not granted• Accept community feedback and rework code
• Bring technical expertise to the table• Contributions need to be ongoing to maintain leadership status
Humble Bold
Leadership != ControlAccounting != Leadership
