Mission Statement

The Community Team's mission is to support and grow communities in the DC/OS ecosystem. We aim to achieve this by evangelizing in the wider cloud-native world, empowering external advocates with fantastic content and useful tools, and helping community members to engage with one another by supporting a broad range of communication platforms.

3 Key Goals

• Evangelize
• Content Creation
• Engagement

Methods

• Give presentations and workshops at events
• Listen to and act upon feedback
• Create open source demos to ease onboarding
• Build opportunities for community members to contribute
• Develop personal connections through meeting with current, new, and potential community members, both online and off
• Encourage participation in working groups, Slack and mailing list communities
• Shepard contributors who wish to write a blog post showcasing their work
• Support community members who wish to host their own events

Events

At events the team wants to make a long-lasting impact. This is formalized by doing the following at each event:

• Track impact through statistics, including: total size of event, attendees at our presentation, number of personal contacts made
• Invite community members we meet to submit blog posts about their work
• Share all materials (slides, photos, videos, etc) on dcos.io and via social media so impact of each event can be extended
• Be diligent about following up post-event with contacts made
