How to evaluate Open Source Communities

This presentation at the Transformation and Innovation Conference 2006 looks at "The Community" from an enterprise perspective. From the premise that "Open Source is more than access to code" the speakers defined what "The Community" is, why it is important for your enterprise, and how to gauge the liveliness of any open source project. We provided some real world numbers for content management system communities. It ends with the introduction of two models for how your enterprise can benefit by teaming up with the community itself.
