Announcing the new Google Developer Program forums

Google is launching a new developer forum at discuss.google.dev, consolidating existing communities from googlecloudcommunity.com. This unified platform prioritizes high trust and high utility, reducing noise and enhancing signal. The forum uses Discourse, an open-source platform chosen for its functionality and extensibility, integrating Google technologies. Access is via Google Developer Program profiles, displaying user credentials and reputation. Private beta and EAP access is automatically granted through the profile. Google engineers and product managers will actively participate, fostering collaboration and problem-solving. The forum encourages questions, answers, and sharing of projects. Users can explore categories and join discussions; non-members can join the Google Developer Program to participate. The migration aims for a smooth transition, preserving existing content and conversations. The new forum seeks to build a strong and supportive community for all Google developers.
