The newly launched Couchbase Community Directory aims to foster engagement and community building among its members by offering opportunities to connect with Couchbase Experts, Champions, and engineers. Participants can benefit from receiving the latest product updates, invitations to exclusive events like Couchbase Connect and Couchbase Day, and chances to be involved in product beta programs. They can also take on roles such as Meetup organizer, mentor, or speaker. Additionally, members can create a personal profile on the directory to showcase their involvement preferences. Signing up is streamlined through a Single Sign-On system, making it easy for those with an existing forum login to join and participate actively in the community.
