Nowadays, people communicate through the Internet drastically reduced the actual cost, which can easily be based on personal liking (like) some of the similarities and differences between the formation of the concept of (or ideas) in a "network of organizations," which is "network community." Any "network" communities have their own "sub-culture" (a technical, and cultural atmosphere). Community revenue is a "network community."

Community revenue "boundary" in a constantly changing, members of the community are always in flux. In the community concept, with those who remain, who irrational, completely free. The last 10 years, many facts have proven that in software development, community development model is effective. This community development model, and even Microsoft have agreed. In software development, community development model of open source : the premise is that the use of freedom. Commercial software program source code closed to talk about community development?

Recently, mainland China's first alliance to promote open source software group delivered an important article, saying that China's establishment of a "revenue" communities need. July 27, in this year's "World revenue," (OSCON 2006), the spokesman Jeff Waugh's Ubuntu lecture "Ubuntu : humanity (revenue) communities" by the General Assembly for the warm welcome. On this day, the President of the General Assembly O 'Reilly repeatedly mentioned Ubuntu. Ubuntu Linux in the stadium that he was "very important" ( "Pretty Important"). Why was it so? Because Ubuntu is "Linux for Human Beings" ( "Linux humanity", cited Ubuntu Linux version 6.06 Issuance of notes packaging). Ubuntu plans for the smooth implementation of Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth, words, we should seriously consider and study.

Revenue communities, small, a few people; , Then tens of thousands of people. Revenue in the community in which the procedures for the development, software testing, the authors document, passionate advocacy and "hell-bent" subscribers. Imagine, on revenue communities, as long as people share with "mountains" and not? In all fairness, anyone who entered a revenue Forum, which will inevitably not be "passionate ideas", "infection" Ubuntu community calculate. The source code for all contributions, the concept is Ubuntu. Of course, not all good revenue community recently Malware (bad) with the revenue the community wanted to do bad things. The so-called "revenue" communities, we have discounted.

Create revenue communities can not depend entirely on the "external" forces to form. Generally, the community is a natural form of revenue. Community leaders have a core revenue. This "no head of the herd will proliferation" of a kind word. Community building revenue, we can not be overanxious. A few years ago, promoting open source software, revenue neglected communities, and take a detour, in the future, relying on the correct line of thinking is : (establish) revenue communities, promoting (development), open source software.
