I'm confused about the statement:
"When we talk about community in the The Open Source Way, we mean the community of contributors who are a superset to all other communities."
I can't see how the community of contributors is a superset of all the other groups listed. There are certainly an intersections between the various groups, but it would be perfectly possible to contribute towards something without using it, or evangelise something without contributing to it. And of course very possible to like something without contributing anything to it.
Can anyone clarify what this statement is supposed to mean?
I would like to reuse this terminology, but right now I can't understand it, and without understanding it, I can't use it ;-)
