The true heart of any open source project is the community behind it. The continued success of a project depends on that community, its activity, and continued adoption and contributions. When you contribute back to a project, you not only help the project, you help the community, the next generation, and yourself. 

In this Tag1 Team Talk, Michael Meyers  (Managing Director of Tag1 Consulting) talks with 

Lucas Hedding (migrate, auto update, new module reviews/mentorship of new contributors), Janez Urevc (media initiative owner, MongoDB), and Doug Green (Senior architect and technical lead at Tag1) about why individuals should contribute to open source projects, and why companies should encourage their teams and clients to give back as well.
