Added social points of contact
Why is this change being made?
This change includes a table outlining the point of contact a team member would want to connect with regarding specific topics or campaigns. We'll use this to help assign work between Wil and Kristen, as well as, making sure other teams involved in these topics know who to go to first.
This will help to boost Kristen's visibility and ownership across the company.
Other details
- You'll see that open source as a topic, Commit event, all remote, DIB, CSR, and priority platform partners appear as examples for
brand campaigns
. This is because each of these elements are critical pillars of GitLab's public image and make up who we are in our totality. - Items not listed by point of contact are shared and include: Handbook updates; community management for Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn; other campaigns or activations not tied into one of the above categories; or when the team has decided on a unique setup for greater efficiency
- This may continue to evolve in FY22 as we shift our priorities toward readiness.
