WIP: Site communitypages

Goal of page?

Visitors want to know: Where are MY PEOPLE?

The community page should have a clear message about where the community is, how to get involved and how to meet the community online or in person.

@AshleyS

Added sub-sections under community.

• Write for us
• Events
• Webcasts (here?)

@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

Forms to contact us

• Get involved and run an event
• Write for us

Look at examples - what do we like?

• GitHub - it’s all about sponsorships, 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/

You didn't do anything wrong! @lukebabb needs a starting point to get an idea of what we think should be on the community page so this is perfect. He has already put some work in as well and can give input here.

Milestone changed to Marketing

Added Website Redesign label

I think maybe this would be a good Issue instead of MR and the MR should be the actual implemented design, maybe? I'm not an expert but @sytses is and can give guidance.

I will close this in preference to an issue https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/issues/501

Status changed to closed
