Leading an open source effort can bring tremendous benefit to an organization. By integrating and coordinating internal and external development in an open way, businesses can take leadership positions in projects that significantly reach beyond the organization's typical areas of influence. One of the keys to a successful open source project is to provide a meaningful environment for the dynamics of the project to take place. The main focus of this environment is two fold - encouraging active participation and providing the infrastructure needed for development and intra-project communication. A developer centric environment is needed for an open source project to nest, create community and develop reach.
