Jakarta EE Marketing and Social Media Update

Tuesday, June 26, 2018 - 13:13 by Thabang Mashologu

I recently read a great post about the often misunderstood, yet important role of marketing in open source community advocacy. To paraphrase the author, open source marketers succeed when they deliver relevant content to developers and commercial decision makers, enable communication, and highlight the achievements of community members.
