The calendar has turned to June and it’s time for another check-in on the latest news from our Unqork Community.
May 2022 Highlights 
After many major updates in April, May was our first month with our new open community experience and new thought leadership forums.
But the updates and improvements kept coming with significant updates to the Marketplace and Documentation Hub experiences, along with new Marketplace listings and our first Community Hackathon.
">Major Updates
Other updates
">Livestreaming with The Uncoder
We also tried something new with our monthly Success Hour webinar, livestreaming it on Twitch.
Unqork and our Chief Evangelist, “The Uncoder”
">New in June
">“Today I Learned” Challenge
To help ramp up discussion in our new forums, we’re launching our first monthly challenge throughout the rest of June.
You might be familiar with the Today I Learned meme or hashtag on social platforms like Reddit or Twitter. This type of “working outloud” behavior is also helpful in building our Knowledge Base through shared learning and discovery with other Creators. That’s where the challenge comes in:
- What: Share something you learned while working on Unqork in one of our forums.
- Platform Q&A: Something you learned about functionality or configuration.
- Best Practices: A tip, a trick, or best practice you recommend.
- Use Case Showcase: A use case for a specific piece of fucntionality or a business problem Unqork can help solve.
- Why: To share your learnings with other Creators…
- Oh, and we’ll award you 10 bonus points for each post (in addition to the 5 you get for posting).
- And the post with the most upvotes on July 1 will win some Unqork swag!
- How: Create a Post in one of our forums and use “TIL” or “Today I Learned” in the title or the “TIL” tag.
- When: Now through June 30
Hackathon Showcase
Stay tuned here on the Community Hub for an upcoming event announcement to showcase our four Hackathon finalists. On this live event, you’ll hear directly from the finalists and vote to determine our winner.
">Certification Prep Classes
You may have noticed the wave of Creators earning certifications from our Academy. In addition to the hard work and preparation of these learners, we’ve seen great success from the certification prep classes we launched in recent months.
In an effort to help accelerate your path to certification, we’ll begin promoting the upcoming classes for each level of certification. You’ll soon find them listed under our Events page or you can view the full calendar of classes here.
">More Improvements Coming Soon
We’re hard at work with some other improvements behind the scenes. When they’re ready, we’ll share them here in our Updates blog. You can subscribe to emails to stay up-to-date on the latest.
">Congratulations to our newest Subject Matter Experts!
