Lyrasis (see http://lyrasis.org) recently completed an IMLS-funded study on the development of open source communities within the cultural heritage sector, called It Takes A Village. The major output from
this work is a Guidebook on the development of open source communities, which can be downloaded for free from their website at the link below.

To declare an interest, representing the Samvera Community, I was one of the attendees at the forum that helped produce the material for this Guidebook. I would very much recommend the publication for any open source projects looking to
develop a community, or extend their existing one as a source of valuable insights on how others are tackling similar issues.
Regards,
Chris
