To second Rosy's point, if you are unsure if you are 'part of the community' and you can answer yes to any of the following questions, you absolutely can say 'yes' in the survey:

You are on the CODE4LIB mailing list
You have attended a Code4Lib conference
You have submitted to a CfP to a Code4Lib conference
You tried to attend a Code4Lib conference but didn't register in time
You have a registered account on code4lib.org
You have a registered account on wiki.code4lib.org
You have submitted to or read the Code4lib journal
You follow planet.code4lib.org
You have been in the #code4lib IRC channel

What I'm saying is that Code4Lib's "community" takes a lot of forms, don't feel you need to be a regular in the IRC channel or something.
