To second Rosy's point, if you are unsure if you are 'part of the community' and you can answer yes to any of the following questions, you absolutely can say 'yes' in the survey:
You are on the CODE4LIB mailing list You have attended a Code4Lib conference You have submitted to a CfP to a Code4Lib conference You tried to attend a Code4Lib conference but didn't register in time You have a registered account on code4lib.org You have a registered account on wiki.code4lib.org You have submitted to or read the Code4lib journal You follow planet.code4lib.org You have been in the #code4lib IRC channel What I'm saying is that Code4Lib's "community" takes a lot of forms, don't feel you need to be a regular in the IRC channel or something. -Ross.
