⚒️ TOOLS CATALOG (1.0 Incubating)

https://github.com/devrel-foundation/tools-catalog

The Tools Catalog is about aggregating tools in a format that is expressive to the day to day tasks and jobs of DevRel.

The priority for the project currently is to build a user interface to the tools catalog data in the dev-rel.org website and make it easier to explore and contribute to the data. This was a topic from this month's working group call. If you missed the call, you can find the notes from the meeting in working group call discussions.

It is also a goal to add tutorials for each tool definition. This may be a great way to make a contribution by explaining how to use one of the tools in the catalog as part of your day-to-day work. Reach out if you'd like to submit a tutorial for a tool.

This project is very early, but as a first task we are looking for folks to propose definitions for various terminology around the practice of Developer Relations. We want definitions for advocate, evangelist, community manager, etc.

Define DevRel Terminology

🕸️ WEBSITE (1.0 GRADUATED)
