• In building community what have you achieved, how?
• What have found out that did not work?
• Leadership question: role of objectives in the start?
• Monetization: how do you make money? What
monetization supports the community, what works against
it?
– Is it ok, if it works against the community, but not too much
• Role of defining/finding the competitive advantage?
• Licensing can be used to create scarcity, does it work,
when?
– It surely works for some proprietary companies
