[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Su-yeon] SK Telecom announced on the 14th that it has launched an app version of the developer community 'DEVOCEAN,' created to facilitate communication between development experts within the SK ICT Family and external development talents.

'DEVOCEAN,' meaning 'Developers’ Ocean'?a sea of inspiration for developers?was established in June last year by SKT along with SK Hynix, SK C&C, SK Broadband, SK Planet, and other SK ICT Family companies to foster communication between internal development experts and external developers. SKT is promoting various online and offline activities centered around DEVOCEAN to enhance Developer Relations and contribute to spreading a developer culture focused on technical communities.

The 'DEVOCEAN' app features significantly enhanced communication functions and improved accessibility compared to the existing website, increasing user convenience. With the launch of the DEVOCEAN app, SKT plans to attract new participants who prefer mobile-based communication and strengthen interactions with existing users.

The most notable feature is the addition of the ability to write posts on various topics directly. Moving beyond limited participation centered on comments, participants can now create posts on subjects they are interested in.

For example, in the 'Development Stories' channel, users can write posts sharing concerns or know-how experienced during the development process and communicate through comments and replies. Additionally, various communication spaces have been prepared, such as the 'News/Information' channel for sharing new updates related to the development ecosystem, and the 'Review' channel where users can receive evaluations on developed code or programs.

Furthermore, a 1:1 messaging feature has been introduced for those who wish to engage in in-depth discussions with specific developers. This allows active communication with many experts, expanding knowledge and networking.

Various contents previously accessible through the DEVOCEAN web platform are now conveniently available via the app. DEVOCEAN users can enjoy high-quality content including ▲‘Blog,’ which contains tech spaces sharing the latest development-related posts and technologies from developers within the SK ICT Family ▲‘Videos,’ featuring the latest trend videos, SK Tech Summit, seminars, and more ▲‘Open Source,’ guiding users to SK’s publicly released open source portal.

Jang Hyun, Head of Corporate Culture at SKT, stated, “We hope the launch of the DEVOCEAN app will aid communication activities among developers inside and outside the SK ICT Family. SKT will create a leading developer culture and contribute to the advancement of the development ecosystem.”
