Abstract
If you run a Google search for “community” you’ll find a wide variety of results, from the hit TV sitcom of that name to three different online dictionary definitions, to a handful of developer community websites for particular brands, to a company that sells loudspeakers. With over four billion search results, it’s no wonder people in the technology industry have such a hard time agreeing on what a community actually is, who it’s comprised of, and how to work with them.
