As Partners are a key part to our ecosystem, you might be wondering how you can get involved. Here are a few tips: Is there a Partner Community? Is this a new community? Can I join the Customer Community? Can I answer a question, if I know the answer? I regularly receive Android specific questions from customers, can I post them in the community? Can I tell my customers about this community, as a useful resource? Can I promote my services here? Can I create a guide/post in the Customer Community which I think will be useful? Visit our Customer Community homepage to get started. If you have any questions, please do reply below, otherwise I look forward to speaking with around the community.

Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well and are having a nice week. Iâd like to update you all on some exciting community team news - trumpet fare please! Introducing Emilie_B , who will be joining me here in the Customer Community team. Emilie will be continuing to help with the smooth running of the community and in making this a great place for you to interact with others and share all things Android related. Please join me in welcoming her here by replying below or when you see her around in the community. Thanks so much, LizzieBig news! Community Upgrade!
Hello everyone, Iâm pleased to let you know that we have made an upgrade to the Android Enterprise Customer Community. Thank you for all your patience whilst we implemented this. While most of the upgrade is in the backend, if you are reading this message Iâm sure you have already noticed an update to the look and layout of the community! đ We've taken the opportunity to implement changes based on the valuable feedback many of you have provided over the past 18 months, since the launch of Customer Community, particularly around finding content and knowing where to post. Whatâs new? New community board layout: weâve simplified the navigation and reduced the amount of boards. On the header you will see the main areas: News & info: this hasnât changed too much, however this now contains the community information and guidelines. Discussions: is a central place to create topics and interact with other members. Share your feedback, questions and knowledge with using Android for work. Resources: this is a new hub for guides, tips and events. Weâve combined the blog boards together, so you have one key area to explore, as well as the events page. More visible tagging: finding the content you are interested in is a key area for the community. So you will see tags are far more prominent on posts and boards. You can also follow tags (as well as boards) you like (and you will be notified when a new post has been given this tag). You will find the follow buttons on each page across the community too. To check which board or tags you already follow click on the board or visit 'My Settings' in your community account. More community collaboration: we are lucky to have some fantastic and knowledgeable contributors here in the community who spend time helping each other and also create guides or interesting topic discussions. More visibility of the original author when a post is created and featured on the homepage In blogs: you will see that multiple people can co-author a blog article (an article often involves multiple contributors and so now this can be shown) Iâd like to take this opportunity to give a special thanks to those active members who provided feedback and helped us to test this before pushing it live. Alex_Muc, Michel, Moombas, jeremy jasonbayton, mattdermody, Rakib, JordanOC, Rose (and to everyone who provided additional feedback across the community). As this is a large update, we expect there are still things that arenât quite 100% settled and so you still may see a few things updating, but if you spot something not working as expected, please do let us know. It would be fantastic to hear what you think of the changes and if you have any other suggestions for the future. Thank you so much and exciting times ahead. Lizzie (and the Community Team)[Community] Heads Up! Customer Community Maintenance **TODAY**
Hello everyone, I just wanted to let you know that we'll be carrying out an upgrade to the Android Enterprise Customer Community on Tuesday, February 18th: 12pm - 4pm (GMT) / 5:30pm-9:30pm (IST) / 9pm-1am (JST) / 4am-8am (PST) As part of this, the community will be experiencing some down-time and you may see some content moving positions. We are expecting this to last a few hours, starting from 12PM (UK time). We are hoping to keep this to a minimum, so you can be back in the community as soon as possible (but wanted to give an estimated time window above). More about the upgrade: A lot of this will be on the backend. But, we also wanted to use this opportunity to incorporate a lot of the feedback we've received from many of you since the community launched a year and a half ago. đ We will be making some refinements to the community board structure with the aim to make it easier for you and others to better navigate and find conversations/content of interest. Hence, why some of the boards will be moving around a little! I hope this sounds exciting and a massive thanks for your patience during this time, and sorry for any inconvenience this may cause in advance. Once launched, I will provide a full rundown of what is new. Looking forward to hearing your feedback once live. đ€ Let me know if you have any questions on the above. Thanks so much, Lizzie
