This document discusses the development of open source communities using the metaphor of an orchestra. It describes the community starting as a "birth of the 'itsme'" (leader/platform), then maturing through three stages: short-term as a "classic symphony" with perfect harmony; medium-term as a "jazz orchestra" with more improvisation; and long-term as a "fusion orchestra" that synthesizes harmony from heterogeneity. It also discusses moving from a top-down centralized system to a bottom-up decentralized one that shifts power to participants over time.

27. 04 Features of the community Synthesizing harmony with belonging, sharing and homogeneity from heterogeneity, leaded us to create our metaphor: Orchestra. Why Orchestra to represent “itsme” community? By multiple voices, a cohesive chorus, by variety of instruments in the orchestra and a hidden maestro and harmony; “itsme” builds its own identity. ♪ How is the evolution? The direction comes from the harmony, potential from the heterogeneity and the orchestra is spread into different life cycles. Many voices, one direction, harmony is the most powerful conductor. orchestra itsme
