Ully Sampaio highlights the collaborative nature of the Elastic community, where experts and novices alike share knowledge across various platforms such as Discuss, Slack, and YouTube. This spirit of collaboration is further encouraged through the Elastic Contributor Program, which provides a platform for members to showcase their projects, presentations, tutorials, and written content related to Elastic technologies. Participants can contribute by coding, presenting, writing articles, and engaging on forums like Stack Overflow, and these activities allow them to earn recognition and rewards. The program has attracted over 367 contributors who have submitted nearly 5,000 contributions across four cycles, with new rules and scoring methods introduced for the 2023 cycle. Participants can view regional leaderboards to see top contributors and are encouraged to continue engaging with the community to earn points and recognition.
