Help us plan Community events: Fill out your profile!

 Hello OpenSpace Community!As we continue growing, we are starting to plan out different events to get you all connected and meeting each other. We especially want to hold regional events so you can network with those near you.In order to do this, we need your help!We need to know where you all are located, so we can coordinate events around your locations.All you have to do:Please make sure COUNTRY is filled out in your Community profile. Adding CITY would also help, but at a bare minimum, we are only asking for COUNTRY. NOTE - The CITY field is actually private so only you and the OpenSpace Community Managers (who are planning the events) can see your city. Other Community members won’t have access to that information should you choose to include it.From there, our team can gather the data to see what events in what locations would make most sense   So essentially, completing the COUNTRY (and even CITY) field in your Community profile is like adding a vote for an event where you are

Community Shop

Can we get an Openspace shop within the Community where we can order the blue camera mounts and the washers that you stick to your hard hats? Currently I bother my incredible customer success manager with this task.  That probably isn't even in his job description but @Wesley DuBose hooks it up everytime!

New Changes Coming to Our OpenSpace Community! [Feb 2023]News

👋 Hello OpenSpace Community!New and exciting changes are coming for us 😀 Late last year we reached our one-year Community anniversary. We took that opportunity to reflect and assess the engagement trends up to this point to make certain we continue to focus on the optimal value the Community provides for our members.  A Product-Focused Community What we learned from our analysis is that you highly value the OpenSpace Community’s connection to Product. Our Product Ideas section is our most visited page in the Community, a majority of the discussions in the forums are centered on the products, and one of the top Community requests has always been for more product education, tutorials, and paths to certification. We appreciate your feedback and are making the Community more product-focused moving forward. Here are some changes you can expect in the next several months to reinforce what is working well in the Community: 💡 We recently updated our Product Ideas process to provide you with
