What it Means to be a Patterns Community
摘要
With the 30th anniversary of EuroPLoP, we are taking the opportunity to take a look at the patterns community using Charles Vogl’s Seven Principles of Belonging as a lens to understand the central values and characteristics of our community. We briefly look back at what some initial expectations for the community were and reflect on some challenges that we see. This paper is not about the future of patterns, but about the past and present patterns community. It is also an expression of the authors’ curiosity and concerns about the future of our community.
