Are you a Camunda Champion?

We’re thrilled to announce that applications for the 2024-2025 Camunda Champion Program are now open! 🌟

Do you have a passion for Camunda? Do you enjoy sharing your knowledge and helping others succeed? Then you might be a Camunda Champion! Read on to learn how the Camunda Champion Program recognizes and supports outstanding contributors in our community.

Why become a Camunda Champion?

As a Camunda Champion, you’ll gain access to exclusive resources, insider knowledge, exclusive swag, networking opportunities, and special events. Plus, you’ll be publicly recognized for your contributions and play a key role in shaping the future of our community.

Who is a Camunda Champion?

A Camunda Champion is a true community hero, someone who goes above and beyond to make a difference. Champions come in many forms, and their contributions are as diverse as our community. They do outstanding work that benefits the wider Camunda community, but also advocate within their own companies. Here are just a few ways in which you might shine as a Camunda Champion:

• Camunda 8 expert: Demonstrate deep expertise in Camunda 8.
• Code contributor: Enhance Camunda projects with your coding skills, either with contributions to the core Camunda product or community-maintained extensions.
• Tutorial creator: Share your knowledge through engaging YouTube videos.
• Marketplace innovator: Develop, share, and maintain Connectors and blueprints.
• Blog writer: Inspire and inform others with your insightful blog posts, whether internally for your company documentation or externally for the larger technical community to benefit from.
• Event speaker: Talk about your work and share your expertise with others.
• Camunda meet-up organizer: Bring people together by organizing local meet-ups.
• Knowledge sharer: Foster a culture of learning within your company by leading regular knowledge-sharing sessions, also known as a community of practice.
• Supportive mentor: Assist others in the community on our forum.
• Passionate Advocate. Inspire and support community members across the Camunda ecosystem.

What’s new this year?

We have added ways to recognize those whose contributions are internal to their company and not publicly visible. Over time, we have seen more and more potential Champions whose contributions are not externally visible. Maybe you are known as the expert on Camunda within your company and create internal trainings, or you organize knowledge-sharing sessions for your coworkers. Maybe you have a mix of internal and external contributions. Whatever your contributions look like, if you live up to the qualities of a Champion, we would love to see your submission.

How to apply

Applying is simple! Just head over to our application page and apply.

Please note that if your contributions are mainly internal (i.e. not visible to our application committee), we will require a 30-minute meeting between you and one of our Developer Advocates to get to know you better. Be sure to do this as soon as possible, and no later than September 30, to secure your spot. This meeting is a mandatory step to be considered by the selection committee.
