+One of our favorite things to see: communities learning from and building on each other's work!
+
+[MAAP](https://ops.maap-project.org/) recently [contributed infrastructure configuration](https://github.com/2i2c-org/infrastructure/pull/7068) inspired by [EarthScope's approach](https://github.com/2i2c-org/infrastructure/blob/0046e14a68d7af9e353c494ee6ad39beb0ce970a/config/clusters/earthscope/common.values.yaml#L29) to handling authentication tokens. Both communities need to pass OAuth tokens into user environments so their SDKs can access protected data - and MAAP adapted EarthScope's pattern to fit their needs.
+
+This is the kind of peer-to-peer knowledge sharing we hope to foster with our [open infrastructure model](https://github.com/2i2c-org/infrastructure). When infrastructure is open and communities can see each other's solutions, they can adapt and build on proven approaches rather than starting from scratch.
