Nonprofit professionals use the word "community" a lot. which uses the strengths that already exist in a community to effect positive change. FYI, Mir is a russian term for a village where the people are dedicated to mutual survival. We talk about serving the community, building community, and engaging community.

So my hope is that they really begin to use the platform. The “open source&# ends up just being a buzzword label they can use, but has no meaning, if they don’t foster the community around the software. There is a smaller community to draw from in terms of interest in being involved in open source projects.
