Why not look at positive examples? How did the Blender ecosystem evolve to become so top-notch?

Blender has structures which go beyond pure voluntarism. Inviting participation from a much wider and deeper set of users and businesses than programmers with a some spare time.

I'm watching Blender very closely and copying or mutating where I can. Asking people to directly sponsor my work, a lot. A seeing what can grow.

@doctormo My outsider's summary of that would be: A lot of networked professionals decided they needed better tools, and better control over them.

Also think about the history of that type of tool. Blender's market saw a lot of closed-source tools dominate for a time then fade away; that is fertile soil for having top talent invest their time in a FOSS project.

@doctormo @tasket I think Blender Today is one of the biggest community build exersises. Where Pablo streams every Monday regarding blender news, what's happening in the community ranging from art to add-ons and what cool stuff people have done with blender this week.

The closest is your weekly reports the only difference being they're pre-recorded.

Neither option is better than the other but steaming has the advantage of getting people's question answered quicker either by the host or other viewers of the stream.

It's unfortunate that many Free software projects don't do this, the closest you can get is someone deciding to write an article and interviewing the developers and rest of the community.

@tasket The biggest reason is Blender is controlled by a foundation and is really a community effort.
