In this episode of Masters of Community, we speak with Sarah Jane Morris, Senior Manager, Developer Community at HubSpot. Our host, David Spinks, VP of Community at Bevy and Co-Founder of CMX, moderated the conversation. For the past fifteen years, Sarah has been growing and nurturing developer communities at various stages of growth, like Context IO, Keen IO, Shopify, Intel, and Mailchimp. Now, she leads Hubspot's broader developer community strategies. Today, Sarah shares what she's learned from working with these brands and the differences between the different kinds of developer communities that she's built. She also talks about how to get started in a community role, DEIB in building developer communities, and the balance of community capitalism. Who is this episode for? Community builders, community managers, community leaders, developers, and developers advocates. Timestamps: (00:49) - Intro to Sarah and her experience with developer communities (12:31) - Building a community from the ground up versus managing an existing one (16:55) - The difference between a developer community program and a developer advocacy program (19:06) - Setting up a healthy developer community based on context and the company (24:28) - How the developer community program at HubSpot stands out (28:18) - Why the community team should be the guiding light (35:00) - Auditing and improving a developer community program (48:33) - Working in a community in the world of capitalism (52:46) - Investing in DEIB in developer ecosystems (59:03) - Rapid-fire questions Notable Quotes: “The first question you need to ask is: does the developer community even make sense for this company?" “I feel like the community strategy is more about enabling developers to connect with each other, creating the spaces and clear pathways for that to happen. But, also understand what are the actions that you want to see developers taking in your community to get them more value and to bring more value back to the company.” “When the customer is the driver of the narrative, it's very hard to plug developers into that. But I think once you find that sweet spot and start to tell stories about how developers are impacting our customer's businesses, they love that too.” “I think community plays a big role in making things more equitable across the company because you're representing a good experience and a good journey for anyone in the community” Answers to rapid-fire questions: What's your favorite book to gift or recommend to others? The Business Value of Developer Relations by Mary Thengvall What's a community product you wish existed? Slack for communities. Who in the world of the community would you most like to take to lunch? Evan Hamilton, Director, Community and Customer Experience at Reddit What habit has had the most positive impact on your life? I think the habit of knowing when I'm done for maybe not the day, but at least for the hour. And just like slapping that laptop closed, stepping away, getting a break, drinking a glass of water. What's the weirdest community you've ever been a part of? So, I don't know if this is weird, but the way I kind of went about it was weird. So this is like 2002. I had been in love with pugs my whole life and I never had one. So I established the Montreal pug meetup group. What's one community engagement, tactic, or conversation starter that you like to use in your communities? “Where are you from?” If you could condense all of your life lessons into one Twitter-sized piece of advice to the rest of the world on how to live, what would that advice be? Care less about the things that you don't need to care about as much. Care about what matters because you only live once.
Trick question of the week: Is the funnel, AAARRRP or Orbit the best framework for your metrics? This week, we're back to discussing metrics. Always a difficult subject, as still, there is no perfect recipe for DevRel metrics. The most popular frameworks are: "Devrel Qualified Leads" which we discussed with Mary Thengvall in our first episode "The funnel", which has been long used in "traditional" marketing "AAARRRP framework" aka "Pirate Metrics" and The Orbit model, which Josh Dzielak presents in our latest episode. Why is the Orbit model a better fit for DevRel, compared to the funnel? Well, for starters, it also considers the big impact of the community. Something that the funnel does not. Does the Orbit model have enough gravity to be your favourite? Listen to the episode and find out. Josh Dzielak is a software engineer for over 15 years. He enjoys building tools for developers and creating resources that help ensure their success. Currently, he's the co-founder of Orbit, helping companies win the hearts and minds of developers. Previously, he was the Developer Relations Lead at Algolia, the VP Engineering at Keen IO and a principal engineer at Disney. Why the Orbit Model is better than the Funnel for Developer Relations (https://orbit.love/blog/why-orbit-is-better-than-funnel-for-developer-relations?utm_source=UnderTheHoodofDeveloperMarketing&utm_medium=Podcast_Ep_Description)
On this episode of the podcast, I sat down on the floor — Japanese style — with Josh Dzielak, a Burner and Dev Relations lead at Algolia. As we do, we start off by getting into Josh’s career history (Accenture, Togetherville, VP of Eng Keen IO) followed by a conversation about Burning Man. Josh has been through 6 burns. This has given him some perspective on how the Counter Culture and Burning Man have influenced culture at technology companies like Google, Apple, and Keen IO. We discuss this and more: - What is Burning Man and why would you want to go - The importance of principles for Burning Man - Decompression (integration back into the default culture after the burn) - Minimalism (why Josh has reduced his physical footprint) - Synchronicity and unlearning Causality - An epic sunrise with glow frisbee and grilled cheese sandwiches (this is how Josh bonded with founders of Keen IO where he was later hired as VP of Eng) - How the gifting economy maps to open source software In the second part of the show, we drop into a discussion on Developer Relations (PR for geeks). Josh leads the developer relations team at Algolia. You’ll learn: - The importance of the geek-to-geek protocol - If becoming a developer advocate is the right role for you - The importance of “the vibe” for your developer events - The value in creating a speaker training program - Tips for becoming a great speaker (breathing, grounding, storytelling) - How to bootstrap and build a developer community - The orbit model for thinking about the layers in your community Algolia is the best way to build search into your mobile app or website. The Essential Cast explores how outside hobbies and interests of engineering leaders influence leadership philosophies, processes, and tactics. https://medium.com/essential-cast/josh-dzielak-ca685992e1d6

Quise sacar este episodio esta semana ya que dos de los tres entrevistados fueron invitados del PR Tech Summit esta pasada semana. Esta conversación se fue un poco de formato, ya que es la primera vez que entrevisto a un grupo. También es inusual en que este episodio es completamente en inglés. Aparte de eso, estos tres son super cool, y me encantó que pudiesen compartir sus experiencias trabajando con comunidades de startups por todo el mundo, y sus impresiones de lo que estamos haciendo aquí en la isla. ¡Espero que la disfruten!
