2020 Topics and Sessions
1. Fostering and Mentoring New Community Leaders
In this discussion we will explore how to identify, foster, and support the success of new community leaders. Not everyone in a community will be a naturally leader, and often great leadership can come from unexpected places. We would love to hear your ideas how to foster leadership, provide guidance, best practice, mentoring, and more. Be sure to join us!
2. How to Create a Sustainable Community
Many communities struggle to support themselves, either with enough contributors, or with generating enough money to support infrastructure, travel, merchandise, and other costs. In this session we want to discuss how to build truly sustainable communities. What should we focus on most? How should we generate resources and how do we effectively manage them? We would love to hear your insight!
3. Planning and Running Online and In-Person Events
With the rise of COVID-19, all communities have had to adapt to virtual events. How though, do you run an amazing in-person or virtual event? What kind of content, speakers, facilities, and other elements do you need? How do you coordinate your resources in the most effective way, and what are the landmines we should avoid? This is what we want to dig into in this discussion. Bring the knowledge!
4. Connecting Community/DevRel Teams to Other Teams
Community and Developer Relations teams have a unique blend of knowledge, and we can only be successful if we interface with other teams such as Marketing, Engineering, Support, and Customer Success well. How do we do this though? How do we build great relationships, solid alliances, share information effectively, and collaborate on projects? There is a lot to discuss here – let’s explore this together!
5. Building Diverse Teams and Projects
Diversity is critical to building amazing communities and open source projects. In this session we want to focus on two key areas: (1) how to build a community of diverse people and skills, and (2) how to enable a community to build a diverse range of projects that solve various problems. Come and join us and help to refine how communities can be truly diverse!
6. Measuring Community Health
Communities are notoriously difficult to measure because they combine tangible and intangible value. Possibly the most critical question though is, “Is our community healthy?” In this session we want to dig into what “healthy” means and what we need to measure to truly understand community health.
7. How to Build Amazing Incentives and Rewards
We know that human beings are motivated by incentives and rewards such as recognition, swag, and more, but how do we do it well? In this session we want to share and explore incentives and rewards that work and don’t work, and explore new and interesting ways to encourage active community participation. There is so much to discuss here, so be sure to come and join the session!
