Hey Mattia, great to have you with us!

The community driven aspect is definitely what makes Nothing stand out above so many others, and is one of the main reasons myself and many others are proud to be here.

I imagine this also presents its own challenges, since the community offer so many unique suggestions, ideas, and are very vocal with their feedback, more so than a lot of other communities. Can you offer any insights into these challenges, the responsibilities you will inherit, and how you plan to engage with and involve the community going forward?

A great example is the community edition project which you’ve mentioned. This is community inclusion like i’ve never seen before, and i’m very excited to see the outcome.

(Also first gen for the win)

    Mattia ☀️

    Welcome to the community Mattia! Hope you gonna enjoy this new journey with all of us 😄

    Whats your favorite thing you like to do in your free time?

      Hi Mattia! Welcome aboard as the newest member of the Community Team!

      We look forward to your contributions and hope to connect with you at the next community gathering.🙌🏻

      Welcome Mattia 👋 Really happy to see the Community team growing and gaining your invaluable expertise! Sounds like you have a great background and will bring a lot to the exciting table. Like others have mentioned, I’m also very pleased to hear you’re a first gen Poke guy.

      I’m curious to hear what your thoughts are for how the community could shape up within the next few years, what success looks like and how we (as members) can continue to contribute to the success of Nothing’s community.

      Bonus question, how do you like your coffee? ☕️

      Looking forward to seeing you in person soon!

        Derren Hey Derren, let me start by acknowledging that I’m loving the mass support for first gen 😂

        You raise a very good point. A challenge for our team will be around how to improve the way in which we collect and aggregate feedback to make it digestible and usable for our teams, while not diluting the uniqueness of each contribution. This really depends on the topic and initiative we are driving. For Community Edition we look for distinctive ideas, while when following an organic conversation about new product launches, we might be better looking for patterns. It’s always a fine balance, and something that in my experience you develop over time by keeping a constant stream of communication with the Community. Rob and Natalie have been doing an amazing job already, we will spend some time in the coming weeks looking at ways to further scale this work and understanding how we can apply some useful frameworks to our community. While I think there are some standard processes, each Community is unique in its own way and it takes some time to tune. Hope this at least partially replies to your question, we can further chat through some of these in the future if you are interested 😉

        Kastello Thank you! I’m already enjoying it quite a lot!! Favorite thing in my free time is playing tennis at the moment, I have developed a bit of an obsession. I used to be all about climbing but I’ve slowed down lately, life’s busy and manage to do one thing at a time 😂

        Louis ☕️ Thanks Louis, I really appreciate the warm welcome.
        As Carl outlined in our Community vision, we are increasingly blurring the lines between community and company, to the point that we will erase them. For the limited time I’ve been around, I had the pleasure to witness the community’s enthusiasm and determination in supporting Nothing’s mission. I believe keeping this enthusiasm alive is a fundamental underlying factor to the success of this project. Rob, Natalie and I will also be looking at more ways in which we can further involve the members of the community in our day to day operations. Community Edition is already a significant commitment, and a loud statement of intent to build the future of the business hand in hand with the talented members of our community. We are learning a lot from this initiative and we will be looking at additional, structured programs, that will allow all our community members to contribute, share ideas and help us bringing Nothing products to an ever growing audience.

        Coffee is a hotly debated topic. I’m an Italian living in London for quite a bit of time. I predominantly drink espresso, better if it’s from my own moka… 😜

          Hey @Mattia ☀️ , Congratulations to your journey hope you will listen to community and execute the insights shared by nothing community because none of here are ready to listen the community members.

          Thanks

          Mattia ☀️ Welcome Mattia! It’s good to know a bit of your background and that an Italian joined the Nothing community team.

          I see we both share love for espresso made with moka ☕️

          Good luck with future projects!

          Welcome Mattia to Nothing & the Community 🎊. Really great to see you answering to each of the question so well. Don’t want to bother you with a question on your first day at Community, while you are exploring the community 😊

          See you around in the Community. WAGMI 💯

          Mattia ☀️ Buongiorno Mattia, Come sta?! And of course welcome!

          Can’t wait to get to know you a bit better, but for now: What show on Netflix did you binge watch embarrassingly fast recently?

            Welcome Mattia! 👋🏼

            Excited to meet you at the next Community event, and also excited for your first-gen enthusiasm for the codenames that Nothing seems to utilise 👀

            What’s your go-to take-out meal?

              Mr Steel Ciao! Same here, looking forward to talking to you soon. Netflix show… not exactly a tv series, but lately I got back into Neon Genesis Envangelion after years, I crunch through a LOT of episodes at one time! If you have some good shows to recommend, please send them over!!

              Ealesy101 Thanks, looking forward to meeting you soon too!
              I’m a serial take-out user 😂 if i have to pick my number one, I’d probably go for burgers. I feel like I should have said pizza, but it’s always better when you eat it in the restaurant (tip alert).

              Welcome Mattia! Its awesome to be able to feel your palpable excitement and I look forward to insights your experience will bring!
