  6. Who does your
    community tell
    members they
    are?
    Example:
    I am a unique individual with
    something important to say - my
    thoughts and ideas are valuable.
    I have useful skills that I can use to
    make impactful contributions to the
    broader community.

  7. What does your
    community tell
    members they
    should do?
    Example:
    I share my ideas and publish
    content that I care about.
    When I can, I volunteer my time to
    contribute back to the community,
    helping others do the same.

  8. What does your
    community tell
    members they
    should believe?
    Example:
    I believe my ideas are valuable and
    it’s worth taking the time to publish
    them.
    I believe in the freedom that
    open-source provides and that I can
    take part in sharing that freedom
    with others.
