Building a community. Challenges projects face when going open source.

Building a successful open source project requires way more than just writing great code or releasing software. It needs open minds that are ready to collaborate with other people, design and discuss proposals, solutions, road maps, agree on stuff, disagree when needed, and reach consensus.
In this debate, we will discuss the challenges projects face when going open source and why building a healthy and diverse community that understands the value of open collaboration is so important to make sustainable open source projects.
