The Fledge project and community plans to create a strong ecosystem around Fledge to attract more users and stimulate community growth by:

• Making It easy for everyone to use the project through documentation.
• Clearly explaining how to contribute.
• Building personal relationships, fostering communication and collaboration.
• Make people feel included. (mentoring?)
• Setting a code of conduct.

Fledge focuses on industrial use cases so one of the primary goals is to meet the industrial communities outside of LF Edge where they do.

Two main industrial communities in energy verticals have been the main focus:

• LF Energy: is an open source foundation that focuses on power systems hosted within the Linux Foundation. 
• OSDU (Open Subsurface Data Universe): The OSDU Forum is developing an open source, standards based, technology agnostic data platform. Primarily focuses on oil and gas and renewables.
