Update on the Community
With Q3 in the books, it's time to reward the winners of the ARM Connected Community Member Rewards Program!
Possibly there are some that do not know, but you receive points within the community for your contributions and engagement - ask a question, reply to discussion, post a 'correct' answer, contribute a blog, publish a status update, follow a member, and so on. Point System, Status Level - Guide will give you a bit more details, as well as the different community status levels you can obtain. Since launch (almost a year ago), the non-employee member with the most points is techguyz, with Jérôme Décamps and jensbauer not too far behind. I know that a very high majority of you are not here to win prizes for your efforts - but this is a way for us to say thank you and recognize you for all of your contributions to the ARM Connected Community. Below are the winners of the ARM Connected Community Q3 Member Rewards Program, and the most viewed posts from the quarter.
A huge thank you to everyone in the community for your contributions - in Q3 the community welcomed nearly 1,300 members, 21 new ARM Partners and 1,462 pieces of published content!
The Top Employees and Members with the most points will be rewarded with an ARM-powered Dropcam Pro! The members will also receive a gleaming trophy badge for their profile.
The Rewards Programs will continue into Q4 and points will not be carried over - so you're all now on even field. Besides the Q4 Rewards Program, we will also be giving a $500 ARM-powered gift to the the employee and non-employee with the highest 2014 point total.
