- Writing: blogs, tutorials, newsletters, guides.
- Speaking: conferences, podcasts, meetups etc.
- Partnering: Work with other communities to cross promote relevant content (i.e. Collaborate with Vercel to promote a Tina + Next.js code demo)
-
Community Management: Building developer love and engagement around Tina through growing awareness, solidifying our reputation in the market, and developing connections across the discussion forum, GitHub, and Twitter and advocate for our development community internally.
