Like any ecosystem, Acumatica will die without a nurtured developer community. We need developers building cool things on the Acumatica platform for #Acumatica to thrive. #CloudxRPSummit pic.twitter.com/Bx2ggZKE98

At the next Hackathon, with teams of 7-9 people, @MvF_Evangelista would love to see hundreds of developers attend and force us into an overflow room. #CloudxRPSummit pic.twitter.com/cejrAVf5mp

Joe started back in the 1980s when there wasn't much content other than in books. Now we are buried with content so it's important to have a community for meaningful exchanges. #CloudxRPSummit pic.twitter.com/Y5cYzWvX7Y

What an Acumatica Developer MVP should expect to be contributing to the community. I didn't realize it's an official team with bi-monthly meetings. #CloudxRPSummit pic.twitter.com/iQ4jmjTpB6

Acumatica Developer MVP "hippies" also contribute to the open source projects on GitHub #CloudxRPSummit pic.twitter.com/i0sDAW57ra

It's better to "give" than to receive, but you also get to receive when you participate. #CloudxRPSummit pic.twitter.com/vQlKfCMm2B

Thanks Mark and Joe for continuing to "prime the community pump" in this session. There are currently about 14 people in the Developer MVP program, hoping to get to 20 people by the end of the year. #CloudxRPSummit pic.twitter.com/KWQsZU8EEA
