# Advocate or Evangelist?

I am *#TeamAdvocate* ;-)

Notes for [this presentation](https://www.slideshare.net/andypiper/developer-advocacy-a-life-less-ordinary)

#### Slide 1: A LIFE LESS ORDINARY?

##### Presenter Notes: 


Who remembers this movie from the 1990s?
(kickass theme song by Ash)

Developer / Technical / Product  - Advocacy / Evangelism? 
we've debated these things in this group before.



#### Slide 2: MY Journey

##### Presenter Notes: 

This talk is going to very much be a personal story and some thoughts about what I do.

As I've thought about this, I look at where I've come from, where I've been and where I am in a few stages.

You can expect a lot of personal history - and honesty - from the next 20-30 minutes.

#### Slide 3: Walking

##### Presenter Notes: 


I started out as a hobbyist developer

I was online in the days of dial-up, I taught myself Linux and learned from the community.

In the late 90s I was helping out on various open source projects on SourceForge (Anjuta, OpenUT)

It was natural to me to learn from others and share what I had learned.

I was working at the UK Post Office at the time.

#### Slide 4: finding


##### Presenter Notes: 

In 2001 I joined IBM in the UK

I was told not to be out in the community. IBM wasn't keen for me to be involved in Open Source at the time.

Consulting.

IBM very good at selling to business; not so good with dev community.

Frustrating! So after several years - 7! - I started to focus on what was needed to 'win over' developers and have a grassroots focus. 
I pushed MQTT as a community thing.

An advocate / evangelist but not a formal role.


#### Slide 5: LEADING

##### Presenter Notes: 

In 2012 after 10? years I left IBM.

I was invited to join a new Dev Relations team at VMware, to do a new Open Source thing 'Cloud Foundry'

This was new for VMW which was essentially a closed-source company (but Spring, Rabbit, Redis etc)

At the same time MQTT was starting to explode - Eclipse, OASIS process - spokesperson / 'community lead'


#### Slide 7: GOALs


##### Presenter Notes: 

Where do you sit as a Developer Advocate?

IBM - Technical Marketing

VMW / Pivotal - under the product manager / engineering team - outreach, real community

Twitter - part of business development but closely tied to engineering too


#### Slide 9: finally

##### Presenter Notes: 


Some final thoughts - what I've learned about what works / what is needed


#### Slide 10: BE passionate


##### Presenter Notes: 


HAVE FUN

Believe in what you are doing - if you don't it will show.

Be enthusiastic! CARE.



#### Slide 11: BE patient


##### Presenter Notes: 


Be patient; kind; and resilient

Easy to get burned out, easy to snap at people asking without sharing.

Resilient - MQTT story. Take time out.

#### Slide 12: BE yourself


##### Presenter Notes: 


Be yourself - you. It's best if you know who you are.

It took me a while to find my voice and persona.

Be honest and genuine - again, IT SHOWS.

Listen.

Hold fast to what you believe, but listen and understand too.


#### Slide 13: @andypiper

##### Presenter Notes: 

This is who I am.
