7. How do you make a Developer Advocate? Ingredients ◦ Developer ◦ Public Speaker ◦ Content Creator ◦ Business Development ◦ Domain Expert ◦ Technical Writer ◦ Marketer (just a pinch) Directions 1. Take a developer 2. Make them… i. Learn new tech ii. Write code iii. Speak at events iv. ... 3. Roll it all into one 4. Repeat
8. What do Developer Advocates do? • We’re perpetual learners • We’re not afraid of public speaking • We care deeply about community • We help developers • We publish technical content • Everything we create is for other developers https://medium.com/@ashleymcnamara/what-is-developer-advocacy-3a92442b627c
9. Why the need for developer advocacy? “Developers exert a high degree of influence over decisions made in their companies” “58% of developers indicated they have budget authority, not merely budget influence”
10. Software purchasing has changed Old • Top-down • Management → developers • Purchased → deployed New • Bottom-up • Developers → management • Deployed → purchased

Call for Code • Created by David Clark Cause and supported by IBM and United Nations Human Rights • Invites developers and problem solvers to build solutions that take on societal issues. • Together with The Linux Foundation, we support the deployment of open source solutions around the world. https://callforcode.org/challenge/
21. 21 Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus WHO Director-General COVID-19 has revealed limits of the systems we take for granted, compromising our health, our planet, and our survival. We’ve expanded the 2020 Call for Code Global Challenge to take on COVID-19, while we remain steadfastly committed to combating climate change. Take on the most pressing issues of our time
22. Crisis Communication Remote Education Community Cooperation When a new disease emerges, communications systems are one of the first systems to be overwhelmed School closures & social distancing is leaving students at home for an indeterminate amount of time Understanding what is happening in your neighborhood & how you can give & get help is vital in uncertain times
23. 23 Remote Education Technologies such as: • Virtual classrooms • Education Microservices • Transcription / Quiz app can continue to engage students & create interactive experiences Crisis Communication Technologies such as: • Chatbots • Chat integration • Voice / Slack / Web can alleviate panic in communities & provide hygienic guidance Community Cooperation Technology can address: • Location data • Supply chain data to band communities together & identify those in most need of resources
24. 24 Build solutions that fight back. • Build & deploy solutions to help seize & reduce the impact of COVID-19 • Build & deploy solutions to help halt & reverse the impact of Climate Change Call for Code Founding Partner Call for Code Creator Call for Code Affiliate Call for Code Charitable Partner The 2020 Call for Code Global Challenge is being expanded to address the COVID-19 pandemic, with a focus on: • crisis communication • remote education • community cooperation In 2020, Call for Code is aligned to the UN 75th anniversary global conversation theme of climate change, with a focus on: • water sustainability • energy sustainability • disaster resiliency Join a movement of: • 210,000+ problem solvers • 165+ nations • 8,000+ applications built Have the chance to win: • $200,000 USD • Open Source support from The Linux Foundation • Meetings with mentors & potential investors • Implementation support through Code and Response™
