Hello đđ˝
Welcome to Dev Shorts. Do reply to me on what you liked this week and what you want to see more. In addition, you could access old issues here!
This week I participated as a panelist in the âCommunities 101â session at Github Field Day India â an unconference with 170 student tech community leaders of India. My co-panelists Ankita from Google, Arko from Github, Khushboo from Microsoft, Venkatesh from Springer.
We discussed how student tech communities play a significant role in colleges helping bridge the gap, introduce concepts like Open source.
Many think that building a community of users who engage with each other is easy. But, actually, it isnât! Community leaders play an essential role in nurturing usersâ needs.
I feel that leading communities from a student level help shape oneâs career early â give them a chance to lead, organize hackathons, experience failure, and even experiment.
If you are a student/professional, try joining a tech community like Java User Groups, Kubernetes, JavaScript, otherwise create one in your school, college, university. Help organize events, bring in speakers, collect feedback, maybe run an annual hackathon, scout for sponsors. There is a lot you could learn in this process.
