The Ember community describes a worldwide subculture consisting of developers, contributors, bloggers, event organizers, podcasters and many others involved in activities around the framework. But which factors drive this complex community in its efforts?

Summing up these findings, we’ll finally try to answer how diversity and growth of this community can be furthered even more in the future.
