Where is the Ember community?
A collection of places and channels where embereños help each other.
Newsletter
If you were to take away a single thing from this post I would like it to be the Ember Weekly newsletter, subscribe to it and you'll get a nice update on Ember things every Sunday.
Chat about it
There are lots of folks giving help and asking for help in the
Freenode IRC channels #emberjs and #ember-cli. Just:
/join #emberjs
/join #ember-cli
Recently an Ember community Slack was created, you can get your invite here ember-community-slackin.herokuapp.com and after registering you'll login here: embercommunity.slack.com
You'll find over 30 channels, some of them are:
- #jobs
- #announcements
- #needhelp
Forums and websites
The Ember.js discussion forum is pretty much the official Ember forums. The reasons are:
- Its an Ember app, an instance of Discourse.
- Discourse has evolved along with Ember, it was first announced in early 2013.
- The forums admins are @pwagenet, @tomdale and @wycats, all of them Ember core team members.
Of course you'll also find Ember topics in stablished websites, follow the subreddit /r/emberjs and the Stack Overflow tags ember.js and ember-cli.
If you want to see how the sausage is made, watch the Ember RFC repository. That is the place where you suggest and discuss new features or big changes for the framework.
The hashtag used for Ember tweets is #emberjs, I know, big shock.
There are some accounts that were created to track what is happening around Ember, check them out:
Every Ember event or meet up has their own Twitter account, some of them:
Yeah, there is a lot of tweeting going on around Ember.
