DESCRIPTION:Foundational Python libraries provide critical functionality th
 at diverse communities of downstream developers and users depend on. Often
 \, gaps in awareness between a core project and its broader community sile
 ntly erode trust\, collaboration\, and sustainability. This talk shares le
 ssons from a community-driven initiative to (re)-connect [napari](https://
 napari.org/)—a foundational library for multi-dimensional image viewing 
 built on the scientific Python stack—with its ecosystem of over 580 comm
 unity-developed plugins. Through a working group of core contributors\, pl
 ugin developers\, and end users\, the napari plugin sustainability initiat
 ive discovered that creating new avenues for communication and collaborati
 on leads to shared ownership of ecosystem progress.
