• Identification of core application capabilities and creation of Playbook.
• Entrepreneurial focus since larger companies are not entrenched.
• Engagement of maker spaces, local schools, libraries, and arts
institutions.

citizen users, subject-matter experts, and mentors.
• Unlocking of often-hidden capabilities within local universities and
companies.
REASONS FOR COMMUNITY SUCCESSES

8. 8
“In the 1970s, many doubted there were
uses for even 50 kbs Internet. Today
application explorers are once again
pushing the envelope of possibility in
ways that will transform … And, the
value of a network is proportional to the
square of the number of connected
users.” Bob Metcalfe
Ethernet Inventor
