翻译了几段英文
一
Social media is an integral part of most developers’ routines and should not be ignored by project leaders. It’s where many relevant conversations happen, which create opportunities for FOSS applications to be discovered, discussed and shared by stakeholders. Leaders can gain more reliable insights from more sources than ever via social media.
Open source development is inherently social. IRC chat, e-mail lists, and Web forums made it possible for geographically dispersed developer teams to make software. Every community has its social guidelines, governance, and mission statements, which together provide the social scaffolding for collaboration. Your community will grow, taking on more contributors, all while following a common vision.
社交媒体是大多数开发者程序的一个组成部分，不应被项目领导所忽略。社交媒体也是引起很多相关话题被讨论的地方，创造了FOSS(自由和开放源码)的应用程序被发现、讨论以及通过利益相关方共享的机会。领导者可以通过社交媒体获得来自比以往任何时候都多的、更可靠的见解渠道。
开源开发本质上是社会性的。 IRC(Internet Relay Chat，“因特网中继聊天”)聊天，邮件列表，以及网络论坛使地理上分散的开发团队开发软件成为可能。每个社区都有自己的社会准则，治理和使命声明，它们共同提供社会脚手架协作。你的社区会继续成长，承担更多的贡献者，还能同时追随共同的愿景。

E-mail lists and IRC remain valuable tools, but social collaboration has expanded asonline communities, including DZone, Reddit, and Stack Overflow have become places where enterprise developers can turn to ask questions and locate the information they are looking for. GitHub has its own specialized tools, and is itself a social network.
Overall, social media helps enterprise developers to learn about trends, technologies and solutions that they may not have been familiar with. Black Duck has found that a developer will immediately turn to social media following a failed Google Search. Younger developers have been weaned on social media, and are always connected.
电子邮件列表和IRC依然是宝贵的工具，但是社会协作已扩大到 在线社区，包括 DZONE、 Reddit以及Stack Overflow已经成为企业开发人员可以问问题，并找到他们正在寻找的信息 的地方。 GitHub上有自己专门的工具，而且其本身就是一个社交网络。
总体而言，社交媒体有助于企业开发人员了解发展趋势、技术和他们可能不熟悉的解决方案。Black Duck已经发现，如果在谷歌搜索不到想要的答案，开发者会立即转向社交媒体。年轻的开发人员一直在依赖社交媒体，并始终保持连接。

Twitter and Google+ provide for discovery and discussion, and have also created the opportunity for open source thought leaders to gain a social following. Forrester Analyst Tom Grant has found that Twitter threads heavily influence the justification and requirements phases of an open source “purchase”. Critics and joiners leave the most feedback, while project leaders often say the least. However, there’s even more spectators.
Forrester’s Grant has noted that RSA’s Archer Community is included in product development in “very specific ways at each point in the process.” Collabnet, an ALM cloud service providers, examines community behavior to help qualify prospects for lead generation. The same principles apply for open source communities.
Twitter和Google+为人们提供了发现和讨论，也为 开源的思想领袖 创造了 获得社交关注的 机会。Forrester的分析师Tom Grant发现，Twitter的话题会严重影响一个开源的“购买”的理由和需求阶段。批评者和加入者留下了最多的反馈，而项目负责人常说的最少。然而，有更多的不说话的观众。
Forrester的Grant注意到，RSA的Archer社区被纳入一种“在产品开发过程中的每个点都以非常明确的方式进行开发”的开发方式。 CollabNet，一个ALM(应用生命周期管理)的云服务提供商，通过审查社区的各种动向来帮助寻找符合要求的潜在客户来进行消费勘察。同样的原则亦适用于开源社区。
学到的英文：
qualify prospects
——寻找符合要求的潜在客户
lead generation
——消费勘察
以后继续努力！尽量保持一天一翻！（反正每天得写一些东西）
