Developer Communities are Like Coffee Shops

By Jeremy Meiss

Elevator Pitch

Developer communities should smell like freshly ground coffee, or taste like an amazing cup of coffee from El Salvador. In this session we’ll draw on Jeremy’s coffee experience to discuss the uniqueness of developer communities, reaching them / building them, & measuring their viability and health.

Description

Developer communities should smell like freshly ground coffee, or taste like an amazing cup of coffee from the remote reaches of El Salvador. In this session we’ll draw on Jeremy’s experience as a barista, competitor, and coffee shop owner to discuss what makes developer communities so unique, how you reach out to them and/or build them, and how to measure their viability and health.

Notes

I’ll likely (depending on environment) look to brew coffee on stage while speaking, and will be drawing on my experiences owning a coffee shop and as a barista and competing at barista events and relating them to developer relations.
