The document discusses the importance of fostering a sense of community in order to create belonging. It advocates fostering involvement in oneself and others by creating a collaborative environment of open source contributions, inviting people to meetups, spending time with others at conferences, encouraging talks, and becoming a mentor. The key is asking how to build community, not just whether community exists, as community is built through ongoing collaboration and involvement of all members.
