The C Word
summary
Argues that healthy communities require concrete participation, leadership and belonging with examples: a working open‑source project Thinking Sphinx created for full‑text search lives five and a half years and has over a hundred contributors; community fixes a RubyGems vulnerability via volunteer effort; a co‑working theft is resolved by a Pledge donation that replaces an iPhone; tools like GitHub shape contribution workflows and smaller events (~100 people) produce stronger connections.
