What do YOU call community?

brick with word one carved in itAfter events of recent times, like the podcast with Laurel, this blog post by Kent and my response here and the Facebook boom, I really like this following quote from Adam Fields, via Doc.

“There’s really only one rule for community as far as I’m concerned, and it’s this - in order to call some gathering of people a ‘community’, it is a requirement that if you’re a member of the community, and one day you stop showing up, people will come looking for you to see where you went.”

Whatever form it takes, that’s the kind of community I want. How about YOU?
