It’s a challenge … and it’s fantastic to have home grown (NZ) examples of what makes a great community – great posting Ben!

And I echo my congrats to both Mauricio and Richard who have/are doing a great job being both hands on and hands off.

It’s a difficult task and hard balance – that’s for sure! Most people in tech business know that community building is an important part of marketing consideration. But how do you build something you can’t control? How can you lead a group of people that really don’t want to be led?
A community is a great marketing asset, but one that you can only hold with a light touch. I admire all those who have done it successfuly.
