![]() Airtable’s fields and formatting, along with the automations and connections built with the Airtable API, have cut that process down to minutes. In their former, spreadsheet-based workflow, reviews were highly manual-skilled reviewers spent precious hours copying and pasting links, combing through badly formatted data, and toggling between various tools. Reviewing a single applicant used to take almost four hours, but with their new Airtable workflow, it takes only 15 minutes. The Developer Relations team also uses the base to manage nominations, NDA tracking, and swag shipments, as well as review nominees’ GitHub profiles and applications-all of which is automatically reflected on the website. And Pindoria’s team can now review and approve an application and update the GitHub Stars website, simply by selecting the appropriate option from a dropdown in Airtable. ![]() All of the data is automatically pushed into a database, and then surfaced in Airtable, where the team can easily visualize and manage it. Developers can use the GitHub Stars website to nominate others for the program, and nominees use it to complete their application. Pindoria’s Airtable base has now become the command center for managing the GitHub Stars program. And each Star needed a profile in the GitHub Stars Hall of Fame, early access to certain features, invitations to exclusive events, and-of course-swag. It quickly became apparent that spreadsheets couldn’t handle the scale and complexity of the program. Each nominee needed to be reviewed by GitHub’s Developer Relations team before they could even apply. But within two days of opening the nomination process, they had received close to two thousand nominations. The company created GitHub Stars to celebrate developers going above and beyond to advocate for and enrich the GitHub community. Reducing process time by 95% (Yes, really) ![]() Using Airtable, the GitHub Developer Relations and Education teams develop, launch, and manage new programs without engineering support-which means GitHub engineers aren’t making tough trade offs against mission critical work. With each initiative and workflow requiring relationships with thousands of developers, comprehensive planning, and seamless program execution, the teams’ tireless efforts to cultivate this vibrant community of developers, at this scale, can get complicated, fast. Building and fostering the community is a key focus for GitHub’s Developer Relations and Education teams. GitHub’s community is made up of students, teachers, scientists, designers, data analysts, enterprise professionals, and many others, all building software in the way that works best for them. But GitHub wouldn’t be GitHub without fostering a collaborative community that all come together-as individuals and in teams-to create the future of software, and to truly make a difference in the world. GitHub makes it easy for developers to work together, to solve challenging problems, and to create the world’s most important technologies. ![]() It’s where developers can create, share and ship the best code possible. GitHub is the home for more than 65 million developers with plans to reach more than 100 million by 2025.
