The User's Community: Your Hidden Treasure and Best Ally (Part 4)

[#1]

Welcome to the fourth part of The User's Community: Your Hidden Treasure and Best Ally were the focus is going to be: More Resources created by Community Members

On the Part 1 of this series of articles I explained the resources that are solely developed and provided by Atlassian. The article address when Atlassian involve other team members.

On the Part 2 I addressed resources that are sponsored or created by Atlassian that involves the  user's community, such as: Atlassian User Groups, Company User Groups, Developers Community, this website, etc.

On the Part 3 of this series of articles I started with the analysis of the resources that are created by Community members including Atlassian Partners. This final article is the continuation of Part 3.

 

Podcasts

While I was doing the research for the Summit presentation I found this great job that @Bill Cushard doing. I think it is a phenomenal idea to leverage the natural power of the podcast to share Atlassian knowledge.

In this case Service Rocket have their own Media channel. Nice Work! An Atlassian Ecosystem Podcast features technologists, business experts, and other interesting leaders, thinkers, and voices in the Atlassian Ecosystem. The show is about the innovative and collaborative work people do using the wide variety of tools in the Atlassian Suite. This podcast is produced by ServiceRocket Media, a division of ServiceRocket, a Silicon Valley-based software adoption company. Episodes are published roughly weekly. Sometimes more often than that.

Community Online Learning

Where to find them?

In addition to Atlassian University, there are other options created and empowered by community Members.

Examples

Adaptavist Learn, Think&Do, CPrime, blendedPerspective, Isos Technology, Praecipio Consulting, etc.

Topics

Partners are actively involved on the training delivery. They all know that it is one of the major challenges that any company will face. Delivery methods could be accommodated to your budget and needs.

Adaptvist Learn

Whitepapers

Another sources of knowledge and usually based on studies from experts are the whitepapers.  @Miles Faulkner from Blended Perspective does a great job addressing different topics and sharing experiences from his team.

 

Community Champions and User Group Leaders

I can't finish this article without writing about users that are just community members.  Here are some of them that you should follow and an Atlassian's recognition to some of the awesome Community Champions and community members who are going above and beyond to help make this community the amazing place that it is.

For those of you who are new to these awards, in the past we've had two categories: Champion and Rising Star. The Champion category is meant to honor our contributors who are part of the official Community Champion program – the best of the best.
