😀 Take the Emote challenge! 😀

MaciejNeumann — Tue, 03 Aug 2021 09:49:59 GMT

Hello Community,

A couple of weeks ago we introduced the first wave of custom emotes in the Forum. For the second one, we need your help!

In our newest challenge, you can give something to the Community, that will really become a part of it. All participants will also get 100 bonus points, so you can climb the ranking ladder and get a new title.

Share your favorite emotes, that you would like to be in the Forum, and we will add the best of them at the end of the challenge. Every participant can share up to 3 emotes.

It can be your favorite Slack smiley, that you miss, and would like to see in the Community.

It can be an icon of your company if you want it to be represented in the custom emotes.

It can be a short dancing animation if you think there should be a new way to celebrate posts in the Community.

Emotes should be:

png, jpg, or gif
A square, between 50x50 and 128x128px
Weight less than 100kb
And of course, respectful to others

I’m so excited to see what you will come up with 😊

Hi, @MaciejNeumann !

The first emote is kind of a dear one to me, as it represents the framework that I used most on my Master's thesis! It was the one that got me hooked on Observability, ultimately leading to me reaching Dynatrace! Talking about OpenTelemetry here 🙂

Keeping the "Observability" of things in mind... who better to observe than the all-seeing ?

Finally, as all good initiatives deserve a word of appreciation:

Love all of them (to be completely honest, OpenTelemetry was on our list to add already 😉), especially the Sauron eye as a big Tolkien fan! 😀

+100 bonus points for you, and I think after the challenge we will see all your emotes in the Community

I would love to see a Dynatrace UFO!

Even the famous picture of Andreas Grabner in his lederhosen!

Or even Davis

Andy is a real legend and I 100% agree, that he needs his own emote! We have some Davis emotes ready in our Slack, I'll check which one would be the best 🙂 As for UFO, this would need a little bit of work, but we'll see what we can do 😉

Here is a couple of my go-to emojis that I use on a daily bases

We already have this emote: , but the animated one looks soooo much better, thank you for the suggestion!

I would recommend some Skype ones

Don't know how to copy them here 🤔 but I count on you on this 🤗

For example:

Some classic Skype emotes would be a nice addition. For I already have animated one ready in the backlog: and also a Pickard one: , but I think we could add a couple of them, so everyone can choose their favorites when needed 🙂

Here's my favourite emotion 🙂

Re: 😀 Take the Emote challenge! 😀

MaciejNeumann — Thu, 05 Aug 2021 14:34:13 GMT

We already got this one (although we probably should make it a little bit bigger), and totally agree - this is an awesome emoticon

The Dynatrace wizard, "do not pass":

Re: 😀 Take the Emote challenge! 😀

MaciejNeumann — Thu, 05 Aug 2021 14:58:32 GMT

This would need a little bit of editing, but I like the idea 🙂 If we are adding eye of Sauron, then "you shall not pass" should also be here!

Re: 😀 Take the Emote challenge! 😀

DanielS — Fri, 06 Aug 2021 21:12:50 GMT

I would like something like this customized with Davis and Dynatrace Logos.

Re: 😀 Take the Emote challenge! 😀

MaciejNeumann — Mon, 09 Aug 2021 07:55:45 GMT

I've added the first one to the list of emotes to add, the second one will be a little bit tricky, but we'll see what we can do 😉

Re: 😀 Take the Emote challenge! 😀

joshua_dtrace — Mon, 09 Aug 2021 14:00:18 GMT

I think we have an obvious choice with everyone's favorite Dave Anderson song: "Full Stack Baby".

We can have another wholesome thumbs up from your favorite Fallout Pipboy.

And finally we can be wowed like Patrick from Spongebob!

The Dynatrace community has great taste. All my favorites I would have suggested are already here

Re: 😀 Take the Emote challenge! 😀

AntonioSousa — Mon, 09 Aug 2021 19:57:39 GMT

There have been so many good suggestions! Here are mine:

First, one for the Community:
If one wants to alert to something:
Finally, one for the notion of speed. I looked for one involving "beep-beep", but didn't find one. So, I would suggest Sonic, my favorite game character:
