Where Did We Come From?
FROM MAILING LISTS TO FORUMS
Mailing List • Up for a decade • “Hands off” by employees • Mostly used by admins
Forums • Increased participation • Internal experts can be “hands on” • Searchable • Persistent Data Storage
Where Are We Going?
USING SOCIAL MEDIA LESSONS
• Integrating Social Media & Other Data Streams • Recognition of Top Users: Who’s Here?
• Expansion of Forums to Nurture Community • Elements of the Ecosystem
APP JUNCTION
• Building on Existing Tools • Public Depot • Download Site • Other Sources
• Centralized Location For Perforce Tools • Community Built Tools (Internal & External) • Community Supported • Connecting Developers and Users
DOC BRANCH
• Multi-Faceted Informational Resource • Knowledge Base • Wikis • Blogs • Social Media • User Contributed Material
• Launching With Internal-sourced Materials • Brings Together Silos of Material • Want/Need Feedback On What Is Useful • Perforcepedia – leads to User Contributed Material
WHY BUILD THIS?
• Field of Dreams is Wrong • Version Everything Means Bringing Together:
• Admins • Developers • Non Technical Users
• The Virtual Community • Best Practices – “How Do YOU Get Stuff Done” • Social Media/Coding/Practices • “Open” Methodologies • Part of A Culture of Contribution
