KONG CHAMPIONS


COMMUNITY IS THE DNA OF KONG. AS WE GROW, WE ARE COMMITTED TO FOSTERING A STRONG
COMMUNITY BY PROVIDING A STRUCTURE SO THAT KONG USERS KNOW WHO TO TALK TO AND
WHERE THEY CAN LOOK FOR GUIDANCE. KONG IS DRIVEN BY THE COMMUNITY AND WE ARE
DEVOTED TO HELPING OUR USERS LEARN, GROW AND BE SUCCESSFUL.




WHO ARE OUR CHAMPIONS?

Kong Champions are frequent contributors who play a key role in developing and
engaging with Kong’s community all around the globe. You will often find them
sharing their expertise and passion through forum discussions, blogging,
speaking at local events and at our monthly User Calls. They are the core
foundation of our community.


WHY BECOME A CHAMPION?

Being one of our Champions is a fantastic professional development opportunity
for everyone who loves Kong and our OSS projects. If you are already working
with our products, you are halfway there! Whether you’re looking to stay
informed about the latest releases, get sneak peeks of upcoming features, have a
direct line to the team building Kong products or even for the swag, there’s
something for everyone. We will help amplify your voice through our networks and
provide dedicated support for our collaborations.


WHAT ARE THE EXPECTATIONS?

Contribute 1 activity per quarter. As a Champion, you will create content that
helps our global community. You will have access to dedicated support for all of
these activities, and we look forward to working with you in a collaborative
way. Below are examples of what a Champion can do:

 * Write a blog post                             
 * Submit a speaking abstract to a industry event 
 * Record a video / tutorial               
 * Speak at an event (in person or virtual) 
 * Host a Meetup / User Call
