I have been involved in communities all my life. From participant to leadership roles, communities are something I grok.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was with great interest I read<\/a> about the “deep tech<\/strong>” team inside of its Developer & Platform Evangelist (DPE) unit. There are several names in that interview that I have crossed paths with – these folk are great developer’s advocates.<\/p>\n The usual folk that we expect are known as “developer evangelists<\/a>“. There are quite a number of them on this list<\/a>\u00a0(rather lengthy).<\/p>\n I reckon the DPE term is overloaded. More than a year ago I was approached to do said job at Microsoft (they filled the position some eight months later). It was made clear that it was a Senior Sales Leader position.<\/p>\n This is a Senior Sales Leader position with responsibility for building a strong public profile which includes press, public speaking and key thought leadership opportunities; to meet with customers and partners across the country; to experience sales and strategic development; and to ensure the success of an exciting and diverse set of marketing programs.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n So beware titles as they get overloaded and the original meaning is forgotten.<\/p>\n References: Platform Evangelism<\/a>, Technology evangelism<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have been involved in communities all my life.
