about.gitlab.com/community - Community page redesign
@AshleyS @sytses Probably I did this the wrong way. I thought I had to have some "code" for review, but should have just opened up the MR for discussion.
The purpose of this MR is to discuss what should be on the /community page, and within that section.
What should be in this space?
Goal of page
Visitors want to know: Where are MY PEOPLE?
- Online events and in-person Events
- Online places to talk with the community
- Ways to get involved
- FACE - see people
- MAPS - where is the action?
Forms to contact us
- Get involved and run an event
- Write for us
Look at examples - what do we like?
- GitHub - this is focused on sponsorship requests, creating events, or they host events. https://community.github.com/
- Docker - Events, forums, community news. Big message: “Get involved” https://www.docker.com/docker-community
- Docker also has an “open source” community page https://www.docker.com/open-source
- Chef- it’s a focus on resources and contribution. nothing about events. Webinars is its own section. https://www.chef.io/community/
- Algolia - https://community.algolia.com/
Cool programs for community involvement
Mozilla reps is a good example too https://reps.mozilla.org/

This is a nice example from Meteor which directs people to the ways they can get involved.

- Help others
- Attend a meetup
- What hashtags to use, etc!
@axil can you specify what you like about the Reps page or program?
This issue is more about the page redesign, but if we can also discuss the background programs as well.
