"We see a community that defines the term Internet speed. Community members work quickly and openly. They rely on two way communication with each other and with the users of their software. They enjoy a good deal of self-rule in their work. They learn from code submitted by others. They find joy in their tasks. And they let the best solutions rise to the top of the pile."
