This document discusses digital open ecosystems and developer communities. It begins with an introduction of Andres L. Martinez and his background in developer relations. It then defines developer ecosystems as networks of people and software for innovation, learning, and product development. It discusses the history and growth of open source software and licensing. It provides examples of different types of online collaboration and communities of varying sizes. It notes that open technologies and developer communities have been critical to software development. Finally, it outlines several of Google's community programs that support developers globally.

20. ● Developers communities, open source and Internet
have proved critical to approach the inherent
complexity of developing software technology.
● Free access to innovative technologies in areas as
varied as Linux, Android, Chrome, Kubernetes or
TensorFlow have broken down the traditional barriers
that restrict learning, enabling the development of
open innovation ecosystems
● 36% of mobile application developers are single
users not seeking economic gain, whose main
motivation is to learn and explore these new
technologies.
● Google Developers runs a number of coordinated
programs that promote the creation of networks of
developer communities, the creation and publication
of expert content, as well as diversity and inclusion.,
