Community Update: Discourse, Community Efforts

Wed, 02 Dec 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Open source and community have always been in the DNA of Netdata, with the Agent starting as a very popular open-source project. Since then, a lot has changed, with Netdata maturing into a company, and the Netdata Agent finding its place as an open-source project in a wider offering that redesigns the monitoring experience from the ground up.

While we had a very active GitHub repository, with the majority of the Netdata Agent’s original team actively moderating the discussions and talking with users, we started a more concentrated initiative to manage our community in spring 2020. We launched our first forum using NodeBB, a great open-source project, and the community grew substantially, outgrowing the forum software. At the same time, we were able to identify areas of friction in the community journey. Removing that friction became a centerpiece of our strategy during Q3 2020.
