What do I say? Help me out...

cstanton
cstanton over 4 years ago

Last week I had to take some time out of work for a hospital appointment (I'm ok, don't worry) for a check up, and to ease the anxiety and stress of it I get into some idle chat with the medical staff (they're pretty awesome) and partly to pass the time.

 

Part of the discussion comes up where I'm asked:

 

"What do you do for work?"

 

And I explain I'm part of a team that works on the element14 Community, and then that's where the difficulty starts.

 

"What's the element14 Community?"

 

And I'm like... well, where do I start to describe what the element14 Community is to someone else? Just what do I say?

 

I figured I'd ask you fellow members, what do you say when you/how do you describe the element14 Community to other people?

 

Because I feel like I need some help here.

    cstanton When I refer to e14, I call it an electronics forum . I think "forum" captures the online aspect and the exchange of information aspect. "Community" still means "in-person" to a lot of folks I…
