Theme of the week:
Should community managers know how to babysit?
Community management sometimes feels a lot like babysitting to Alex Angel.

We also talked about:
What counts as a “community”?
Why do people join communities and what do they expect?
What drives engagement in a community?
What’s a community manager’s role?
How does a community manager’s daily life look like?
Which are the characteristics of a good community manager?
How are developer communities different from non-developer communities?
What is the business value of communities?
How do we measure success?
What’s a community success story that stands out to her?
How will communities evolve in the future?
And more!
