API economy community with tech and business — APIOps and APItalist
APItalist is APIOps sibling community and fundamental part of advancing API economy which is driving force for platform economy. Thus it makes sense to share communication platform to keep the two close to each other.
Business topics to meetups
So far APIOps meetups have been purely technically oriented. From now on, local groups can decide whether they want to include business related presentations as well.
- One option is to mix tech and business presentations inside one meetup.
- The other model is to keep them separated and organize just business or tech focused sessions.
The local facilitators decide the model with local community. Announce tech meetups via @APIOps account and business meetups via @apitalist account.
APItalists organized via meetup groups
Creating another facilitation layer for example in meetup.com just for APItalists does not make sense. Thus we will use APIOps meetup groups to announce also APItalist focused meetups. Local facilitators are responsible to make sure that people understand the focus of each meetup.

In addition to shared resources, APItalists have LinkedIn group, which is open for all. That forum is for business-only discussions.
Shared Youtube channel
Same applies to Youtube as well. APIOps community has very active Youtube channel which has already plenty of recordings from meetups. In the future APItalists can upload their content to the same Youtube channel. In addition live Youtube broadcastings continue from the same account.
In Twitter @APIOps and @apitalist
In twitter we have two accounts. We will for forward with two accounts at least for now. In the future we might have just one account. Having two accounts has the benefit that we can divide the stream to tech and business. In addition we can announce tech meetups via @APIOps account and business meetups via @apitalist account.
