The Accidental Advocate: How My Passion Project Newsletter Sparked a Python Community Orchard
By Gift Ojeabulu
Co-founder at Data Community AfricaAbstract:
The talk goes into the practical steps of nurturing the orchard, from choosing the right content to promote engagement to exploring strategies for sparking discussions, creating a sense of connection, and ultimately, turning a newsletter into a launchpad for further community engagement, like meetups, hackathons, open source contributions, conferences, and online forums.
We will address:
-
Identifying a gap within the community (the barren landscape)
-
Cultivating a niche newsletter (choosing the right fruit)
-
Establishing a content creation process (tilling the soil)
-
Witnessing the blossom of a community (the first bloom)
-
Highlighting the power of collaboration (branching out)
-
Exploring the avenues for extended engagement (abundant harvest)
-
Sharing key takeaways and actionable tips (pollination and spreading the seeds)
-
Reflecting on the ongoing impact and future aspirations (the orchard's future)
