On today's episode of The New Stack Makers, we explored the ways in which community building and communication are key components to {code} in building and bolstering a successful team. TNS Founder Alex Williams was joined by Dell Vice President of Technology Joshua Bernstein, Kim McMahon, working on {code} Outbound Communications and Social Media, and {code} Open Source Community Manager Jonas Rosland.

Another hot topic of discussion which impacts community building and communication, is contributing to open source projects. Having a strong community with clear communication guidelines, community values, and principles often can streamline this process.

Rosland followed this up with the fact that EMC had wanted to be a part of the open source community, building out the {code} team in 2014. "We wanted to make sure we had something our customers wanted, that our customers needed. So we started creating open source projects, started being a part of other open source projects as well, so we got into the community that way."
