When I was Engineering Manager for SourceForge.net, I lobbied for the creation of a Community Manager position. They let me take that position, and it paid dividends almost immediately. Community management has become a very important part of open source businesses because it provides a way for us to understand how individual contributers work, what's important to them, and what we can do to make them happy.
