The software community has always been a community first. Effective communities are not always just cloistered monks singing a plainsong chant. They are more likely a diverse set of individuals with diverse talents and interests creating synergy.

Anyone who uses software can celebrate being part of the community. There no reason to limit it to those who contribute code.
