Communities are human-systems, not technology systems. People interact with each other. There is several hundred years of proven, peer-reviewed, research on how and why people interact. We touch upon it too lightly. We need to dive deep.
We need to know the most important concepts. Symbols are amongst the most vital concepts to successful communities. Have you ever felt a part of any group that didn't share symbols that had exclusive meaning to that group? I doubt it. Friendship groups have songs, events, people, places, traditions. Communities have locations, interests, words, signs.
Reinforcing symbols strengthens a community. By knowing this we can strengthen our community. That is a win for everyone.
We can keep skimming lightly across community management with good host platitudes. We need to dive deep. We can pull out and apply the best community management practices. We can make our communities far more successful than we could have imagined. We can create communities that last for decades!
If you want to be a good host, then feel free. If you want to become an expert in forging communities that fundamentally change and improve the lives both of its members and its founders, then keep reading – there's plenty more mindless wiffle to come.

Community service is a non-paying job performed by one person or a group of people for the benefit of the community or its institutions. Performing community service is not the same as volunteering, since it is not always performed on a voluntary basis. It may be performed for a variety of reasons:
It may be required by a government as a part of citizenship requirements, generally in lieu of military service. It may be required as a substitution of, or in addition to, other criminal justice sanctions – when performed for this reason it may also be referred to ascommunity payback. It may be mandated by schools to meet the requirements of a class, such as in the case of service-learning or to meet the requirements of graduating as class valedictorian. In the UK, it has been made a condition of the receipt of certain benefits, including disability-related ones.[dubious – discuss] (see Workfare in the United Kingdom) In Sweden it's a suspended sentence called "samhällstjänst" ("society service").
