  • Developer Relations team started the program in the spring.

QUESTIONS:

  • There are lots of Reps who would like to join in these session, how can they?
  • Current format cannot really scale -> you could help us figure out how could we scale this (see above).
  • The second pilot is still ongoing (has just started few weeks ago), there is no way to join that at this point unfortunately.
  • It’s still unclear how we’ll go forward from there after the second pilot is over.
  • There is a Facebook group of Evangelism Reps, do you plan to manage/curate it?
  • we are some admins there which at the moment clean the bad posting but we do not add new persons
  • but I think we need to encourage more of the program attendees to shar emroe there
  • the program accepts non tech persons?
  • YES!!! Meaning you don’t have to a developer to join. But the focus is on technology and talking to technical/developer audiences

ACTIONS:

  • Stay tuned! Learn more at Global Gatherings…
  • Help us figure out how to scale. Start a small Tech Speaking group with your friends or in your own community (see blog below)
