Developer relations is an integral part of many software companies who hope to win the hearts and minds of developers. You may refer to it as developer evangelism or community outreach but ultimately, it's a motion dedicated to ensuring that:
<ol>
	<li>You're proactively listening to what the community needs and looking to see how you can help</li>
	<li>You're providing a conduit for developers to offer you feedback</li>
	<li>You have an opportunity to share your vision with the community and hopefully solve some of their problems</li>
</ol>
In my opinion, this is absolutely the right order to be driving on since it's important to always think of the needs of the community.
