Hey everyone,

 

I hope you are doing well.

 

We have an exciting development to share with you next week. As you might have guessed from the image above, we will be welcoming a new community on to our community platform. The new community will have it's own dedicated community area, discussion boards and content specifically relating to that product area. 

 

How will this impact the Android Enterprise Customer Community?

You will notice very little change to the Android Enterprise Customer Community. The primary modification will involve a minor adjustment to the community header. We will be adding a new dropdown menu next to the Android logo - enabling swift navigation between the Android Enterprise Customer Community and the new community addition (for those who may want to toggle between the two). We will share more on this next week. 

 

Important: Read-Only Mode Information

To ensure a smooth transition, the Android Enterprise Customer Community will enter read-only mode this coming weekend. We are aiming to complete most of this work over the weekend to minimise disruption.

 

• Starting Friday 11th July:  ~3PM, UK (7:30PM IST / 4PM Europe / 10AM EST) the forum will switch to read-only mode.
• During this period, you will still have full access to browse all existing content, including posts, discussions, and resources.
• However, the ability to create new posts, reply to existing threads, or submit any new comments will be temporarily disabled (along with any email notifications).
• Logging into the community will still be possible during this time, so you can access areas that require a login (e.g.The CAFÉ).
• Aiming to come out of read-only mode Monday 14th July afternoon: ~2PM UK (6:30PM IST / 3PM Europe / 9AM EST) - fingers crossed all goes well 😀

 

As I mention, we will be sharing more details next week, but I hope this sounds exciting.

 

If you have any questions about the downtime or if you can guess what community you think it might be, please share below. Thank you for your patience during this time.

 

Thanks so much,

 

Lizzie (and the whole Community Team)
