Open Source, Cloud Native, Community
Open source marketing & growing healthy and productive communities.
With thoughtful nurturing, your open source project and tech community can grow from watchers and casual participants to contributors, and the ultimate - fans, advocates, and community leaders.
Somewhere in this path are your future customers. Yes, I said it - future customers, and if you do it in a thoughtful manner you have given them the tools and information to make that decision for themselves. Which keeps them coming back to your community to learn, participate, and lead.

Many missteps can happen along the way to building your community tribe. The important thing is to listen, learn, and try new things.
