Re: [DISCUSSION] How can we Grow our Community?
Hi Sharan and all, I would like to share my thoughts on our Kibble community growth. For now, I think the most important work is to let the target people know Apache Kibble, then encourage them to use Kibble. 1. Who is the target audience. Surely, community managers, developer advocates, and marketing operations on open source projects. They all need Apache Kibble to get the insights. But for now, we can start from one smaller audience - the Apache projects PMCs, which are the core circle. 2. What's happening next? * Writing one blog to introduce the Apache Kibble, describing how Apache Kibble can help PMCs and other open-source projects to monitor the project's health. A recorded introduction video also needs. Sharan has lots of talks or slides on Apache Kibble, so just promote them. * Email our audience. We can share the blog on the ComDev mailing list, but we also need to reach out to other ASF projects' PMC to let them know. * Community Meeting: we can schedule the community meeting monthly or bi-monthly, quarterly to active existed community members, and attracting other interested people to join. This meeting can be for developers and users. We are doing this for the Apache Pulsar community in China and other regions, it works well. * Kibble Slack Channel: other than the Kibble mailing list, we can promote and attract people to join Kibble Slack channel. * Meetups(virtual/in-person): we can organize virtual meetups focusing on the Apache Kibble introduction. I guess Sharan has lots of friends in China, such as KAIYUANSHE, Ted. I would like to organize the Kibble meetups with them. The above thoughts are for your reference. I think others could have much more creative ideas. So feel free to comment.

Re: Kibble Related Talks at ApacheCon
Hi Sharan, Thanks for letting us know. Looking forward to your great talk. Now I work as one community manager at StreamNative, I am good at community building and marketing, so I would like to contribute to Kibble if possible.
