I've been pondering over the @OrbitModel of community a bit over the past few days. If you haven't seen it, it's well worth the read.
Some reflections...

The entire model is represented by a solar system of community involvement. The key vocab includes:
* Gravity
* Love
* Reach

Gravity
The pull of a community in.
Each person becomes a celestial body in orbit.
What I like about that is it doesn't assume *everyone* is on the path to adopting the closest orbit.
Some people will orbit like a satellite, others like Pluto. Understanding that is valuable.

Reach
The influence circles of each person.
Saul Alinsky wrote: "My only fixed truth is a belief in people."
It's people who inspire other people. Understanding & measuring that reach becomes critical.
I spoke a lot about this at the last @devrelcon.
