# Preface
Hello everyone, I am Evan Lin from the LINE Taiwan Developer Relations team. After the efforts of LINE Developer Relations in 2020, I would like to summarize what the team has done in this article.
According to the [introduction article (Introducing Developer Relations team)](https://engineering.linecorp.com/en/blog/introducing-developer-relations-team/) written by LINE Developer Relations, the main goals of this team are clearly defined as follows:
- **External Evangelism:** Encouraging developers to use LINE's platform, APIs, and SDKs to develop attractive and interesting application services. (Encouraging people to make attractive and interesting services using the APIs and the SDK by LINE)
- **Internal Evangelism:** Helping engineers grow and hone themselves through various means (Doing _whatever_ our engineers feel difficult to do themselves in making improvements at work)
- **Technical Branding and Hiring:** Letting more people know that being a LINER (LINE employee's self-proclaimed name) has many interesting and exciting things. (Letting people know how fun and exciting it is for engineers to work at LINE)
The following articles will be divided into these three parts to explain in order, and I hope that more developers can review the interesting results of the 2019 developer relations and technology promotion department with us.
#### Article list:

## **External Evangelism:** Encouraging developers to use LINE's platform, APIs, and SDKs to develop attractive and interesting application services
First, let's introduce the platform promotion part. There are two important channels for platform promotion this year. One is the official developer community OA (@line\_tw\_dev), and the other is [LINE Developer Meetup](https://linegroup.kktix.cc/).

### LINE Developer Meetup
<script async="" data-slide="10" data-id="ad721201af124c62b35ef111a1a81374" data-ratio="1.77777777777778" src="//speakerdeck.com/assets/embed.js"></script>
Due to the impact of the epidemic this year, many offline activities have been affected. The first two activities of [LINE Developer Meetup](https://linegroup.kktix.cc/): [LINE Developer Meetup Series #11 (LINE Developer Official Community Online Live)](https://linegroup.kktix.cc/events/20200410) and [LINE Developer Meetup Series #12 (LINE Developer Official Community Online Event)](https://linegroup.kktix.cc/events/20200612) were also held online for the first time.
In addition to the [eleventh meetup](https://engineering.linecorp.com/zh-hant/blog/line-developer-meetup-11/), we invited Julian Shen, who developed the LINE SPOT mask map, to share how to build LINE SPOT, and also let everyone know how to quickly connect official information to create the LINE SPOT mask map in a very short time.
And in the [twelfth developer meetup](https://engineering.linecorp.com/zh-hant/blog/line-developer-meetup-12/), we invited LINE TAXI's CTO Hatden and the engineer from Yi Zhi Tong Shen to share the related development technology of LINE TAXI and the artifact under the epidemic: the development experience of Yi Zhi Tong Shen for the first time.
In September, due to the easing of the epidemic, we were able to hold [LINE Developer Meetup #13](https://linegroup.kktix.cc/events/20200918) offline at National Chiao Tung University. We also met with the development engineers of many services and the students:
-

### Continuous support for Chatbot Meetup
Chatbot Taiwan Meetup is a very dynamic community and is also a local open source technology community that LINE hopes to continue to support. Whether it's monthly sharing or inviting LINE API Experts to assist. LINE hopes that the chatbot community can gradually expand, and hopes that more developers can join the ranks of developing chatbots. This year, after the addition of [new Tech Evangelist - Nijia Lin](https://engineering.linecorp.com/zh-hant/blog/author/nijialin/), more people can hear the first-hand platform updates.

### LINE FRESH 2020 Campus Competition
LINE FRESH represents the deep connection between LINE Taiwan and students, and the "LINE FRESH Internship Program" has been held for 6 consecutive years. It not only discovers outstanding talents in various fields on campus, but also many young students start their careers from this.
The LINE Taiwan team decided that at this special moment this year, we will hold the first campus competition, hoping to invite outstanding players on campus to use their creativity through the competition, use LINE's diverse services or open platform technology to create more business possibilities for the Taiwanese industry and provide Taiwanese users with a more comprehensive convenient life experience.

### 2020 Meizhu Hackathon
LINE attaches great importance to the autonomous innovation and teamwork of employees, so LINE Internal Hackathon will be held in various places. And [we also held the second internal hackathon competition in LINE Taiwan](https://engineering.linecorp.com/zh-hant/blog/line-taiwan-internal-hackathon-2020/), and this time we are very happy to support the students' innovative Hacking spirit with the Hsinchu City Government and the Meizhu Hackathon organizers, and jointly held the [“Hsinchu x Meizhu Hackathon”](https://www.facebook.com/HackMeiChu) LINE competition group.

### Online promotion of platform technology
<script async="" data-slide="8" data-id="ad721201af124c62b35ef111a1a81374" data-ratio="1.77777777777778" src="//speakerdeck.com/assets/embed.js"></script>
