DuraSpace solution communities are intended to be formed by interested members of the larger larger community around a particular solution area, for which repository-based applications could be built. We at DuraSpace see these communities as being relevant to our mission in the most general sense, about activities that relate to ensuring the durability of digital information in all use cases, and we encourage participation whether you are using DuraSpace software products or not.
The popular mythology that has developed around the open-source movement, fed both by wishful thinking and media hype, would have it that the software is developed by a bands of fervently engaged software developers, working like Santa's elves, magically making it all happen. Nothing could be further from the truth. Interesting prototypes, experimental systems and new directions often do emerge as a result of ad hoc and creative collaborations. Mature, well-tested, production-ready, open source software and best practices, however, are methodically developed and tracked by professionals who are also stakeholders in its ongoing success.
DuraSpace's Solution Communities program is aimed at directly engaging technically-aware managers and technical practitioners in the open source process so that they have a direct role in defining the mission for the software development.

In this way, Solution Communities develop the level of trust that creates and create the conditions that make collaboration possible.
