The term 'community' is used throughout tech conversations, articles, websites, marketing collateral, etc. The list is endless but what exactly is an open source community? This panel will discuss the 5 Ws: who, what, where, why, when, and the H: how - of open source community. We'll dive into each question and give real world examples of our experience getting to the bottom of 'open source community.' We'll discuss the who, the people that dedicate their time to community, the what: technology and projects, when things go well, why things maybe don't go so well, and how to join and get involved!

5 community leaders will talk about the value of open source community by delving into the reasons why it exists and how it makes the technology ecosystem stronger.
