 # The React Native Ecosystem
 
-We aim to build a vibrant and inclusive ecosystem of partners, core contributors, and community that goes beyond the main React Native GitHub repository. This document explains the roles and responsibilities of various stakeholders and provides guidelines for the community organization.

 ## Partners
 
-Partners are companies that are significantly invested in React Native and have been for years. Informed by their use of React Native, they push for improvements of the core and/or the ecosystem around it. Partners think of React Native as a product: they understand the trade offs that the project makes as well as future plans and goals. Together we shape the vision for React Native to make it the best way to build applications.
