For Community Manager Appreciation Day 2015, I wanted to do something special to thank many of the hard working community managers involved in the open source ecosystem.

Last year, community managers from various open source projects including Ubuntu, Kaltura, MongoDB, eZ Publish, Sourceforge, MySQL, Joomla, and DebianMed told us why they love their job. We ended 2014 with five community managers sharing advice and tips from the TYPO3, Puppet Labs, Bonitasoft, Elasticsearch, and Nethserver communities.

Here, I've compiled a list of 30 community managers in open source you should follow on Twitter. All of them have tremendous experience. And there's a good chance, if you're going to this year's Community Leadership Summit, you'll get to meet many of them in person.

Thank a community manager today! Join the conversation during Community Manager Appreciation Day, and follow on Twitter with hashtags #CMAD and #CMGR.
