Six Tips for building a global Meetup Organizers Program

Building and nurturing a community of users is vital to any tech organization’s success. If you want to get the word out about your product and build meaningful relationships with your user community, you’ll want to empower your community contributors to lead successful meetup groups. In this blog post, I’ll share some of the learnings from building up a support program for our global Camunda meetup organizers over the past three years.  I’m the Community Manager at Camunda and a people connector at heart. One of my greatest passions is building meaningful relationships that serve global communities and empower individuals. I strongly believe that exchanging ideas and learning about the experiences of others can be a great source of knowledge…

Contributing to the Camunda Modeler and getting started with BPMN.io

A report from a true fan. Watching sports is a little like using Open Source Software. I know that is a bit of a  stretch, but if you keep reading you will see that both need contribution from “hobby leagues”. By watching your favorite sports team you (maybe unintentionally) tell sports clubs and TV stations that you are interested in their offerings. Maybe at one point you decide to play the sport yourself. By starting to play, you begin contributing to that community. You may not ever be a professional athlete, but overall you start to influence the sport you’re participating in at a small level.  I am a big user of bpmn.io. I guess if you work at Camunda…

The DevRel Path to Success: Awareness, Enablement, Engagement

I’ve had dozens of conversations over the last year alone with people who are wondering how to split up the work within a Developer Relations team. Whether you’re trying to figure out what type of a Developer Relations professional to hire (someone with a developer background? someone who has experience running a community forum? someone who thrives when faced with the creative challenge of how to make people aware of your new product?) or trying to decide which of your team members is responsible for which tasks (as I’m doing at Camunda right now!), having a clear framework with which to divide the responsibilities and focus our work is important. In a previous blogpost, I mentioned that supporting your company’s…

Running a Camunda Meetup Group: Vienna

What do you think of when you hear about Vienna? Probably beautiful buildings, culture, opera, classical music and many more cultural highlights. Something like that, right? But a few years ago, in 2016, something else came to life as well. On September 23, 2016, the Camunda meetup group in Vienna was created. More than four-and-a-half years have passed since then and we would like to share some of our experiences and highlights of organizing a Camunda meetup community. What is the Camunda Meetup Group Vienna? Since Martin Schimak founded the meetup in 2016, it has grown into one of the largest Camunda meetups in the world. With 352 members, the Vienna meeting competes with two much larger countries, Brazil and…

Swagger API access with Camunda Platform

Have you ever fired up the Camunda Platform Docker instance and wished you could do live-calls to the API via a swagger server? We have! And like most things we wish we could do, we go out and make it happen. Coming soon To be clear, this integration is coming to the official Camunda Platform Docker container with release 7.15. It’s just not ready yet. So this is really more of an interim solution rather than the be-all and end-all solution, but it works, and it makes sending API calls to a live instance of Camunda Platform a lot easier. So follow along and we’ll show you how to run it yourself. CORS is your friend, and not your friend In general, and…

The Zeebe Community Welcomes Camunda Cloud!

The Rise of Camunda Cloud Whether you’re a current Camunda Platform user, interested in our open source software, or simply poking around our blog as a result of a tweet you saw from someone in our community, you may have noticed an increase in the number of times you’re seeing words like Camunda Cloud, SaaS, or Zeebe pop up over the past few months. As you may know, we first released Zeebe, the source-available, community-supported workflow engine, in 2017 (read the history of Zeebe in our CEO’s words). Since then, in addition to creating an amazing enterprise product with Camunda Platform, we’ve been listening to your feedback on Zeebe as well as Camunda Cloud, working hard to build a SaaS…

Introducing the Camunda Community Hub

Here at Camunda, we are consistently in awe of our open source community and the amazing things you create using Camunda. During Hacktoberfest last year, we were blown away by the enthusiasm and expertise that the community brought to Camunda projects and community extensions. Based on that experience, to further strengthen and support our community, we’re launching the Camunda Community Hub, a platform for community extensions that we hope will both inspire our current open source community extension Maintainers and encourage new contributors to get started.  The Camunda Community Hub is a GitHub Organization that serves as a single place to find Camunda open source community-contributed extensions. For maintainers, it’s a community of maintainers and Camunda employees that provides peer…

Send Slack Messages direct from Camunda Cloud

This article is the fourth in a series exploring fun, straightforward ways you can control workflows using Camunda Cloud — have a read of the others for some background if you’d like to see Camunda Cloud in action with Restzeebe, without a line of code: Do you use Slack? How about adding a level of automation to this widely used collaboration tool, that is making email obsolete in many organizations? Let’s say you already widely use Slack in your company and want to receive an active notification when a new user has registered to your service? You can create a new channel just for that purpose and all Slack users who are interested can join the channel. If you already have an onboarding…
