C4GT Community Program

What is the C4GT Community Program?

• Community Program is focussed on building a long-term C4GT community
• By enabling DPG organizations to list their DPG-related problem statements
• And, access a wide community of contributors who can solve these problem statements

The need for a community program

• DPG Adoption: Long-term contributors will promote DPGs, expanding their reach and impact.
• DPG Sustainability: Contributors can share the maintenance burden, driving long-term DPG support.
• Innovation: Contributors bring fresh ideas and collaboration for innovative solutions.
• Funding: Need to identify and have new models of funding for DPGs.
• Talent Pipeline: With long-term engagement, contributors will be a great pipeline for DPG orgs.
• C4GT Community: Contributors can start driving community engagement themselves.

What are the timelines & goals of the Community Program?

• Community Program will not have a timeline or end date as compared to DMP.
• It will be a running program to enable the goal of building a community.
• The goal is to build a community of 25000+ open-source contributors in the DPG ecosystem over the next 3 years.
