Community Signal

When did you first realize that community management was an actual job? Many of the guests on Community Signal, including Patrick and this week’s guest, Shreyas Narayanan Kutty, got their start in community management by volunteering for causes or topics that they were passionate about. After building communities as a volunteer for the Mozilla Foundation, Shreyas found himself surrounded by community professionals and realized that he wanted to take his work full-time. Shreyas now manages the developer relations community for CoinList, and with seven years of experience managing communities, he has observed a lot of positive change in how the community profession is perceived in India. Patrick and Shreyas discuss: How they each came to the realization that community management can be a viable job Opportunities for growth and specialization in the community management profession The practices and guidelines that lay the foundation for successful developer communities Big Quotes Community management as a car
