# Preface

Hello everyone, I am Evan Lin from the LINE Taiwan Developer Relations team. After more than a year of effort by LINE Developer Relations, I would like to summarize what the team has done in this article, and I also hope to make an annual report for the "[LINE Developer Community Plan](https://engineering.linecorp.com/zh-hant/blog/line-taiwan-developer-relations-2019-plan/)".

According to the original [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 people to make attractive and interesting services using the APIs and the SDK by LINE.
- **Internal Evangelism:** Doing _whatever_ our engineers feel difficult to do themselves in making improvements at work
- **Technical Branding and Hiring:** Letting people know how fun and exciting it is for engineers to work at LINE

The previous article has clearly defined **External Evangelism**, and next, we will further explain **Internal Evangelism** and **Technical Branding and Hiring**.

#### Article List:

## **Internal Evangelism:** Helping engineers grow and hone themselves through various methods

First of all, this part is mostly internal sharing and some opportunities for **LINER** (inside LINE, internal employees are all called **LINER**) to have more self-growth, and through many sharing sessions, they can understand each other better, and cooperation can also be smoother.

### New Employee Training (Internal OJT)

Due to the impact of the pandemic this year, the opportunity for new employees to train at the Japanese headquarters was affected. Therefore, LINE Developer Relations considered everyone and directly held an internal employee training (On Job Training) in Taiwan! This time, many [technical stars (LINE TECH FRESH) students](https://engineering.linecorp.com/zh-hant/blog/tech-fresh-2020/) participated together. The training content included organizational structure, functional division, some problems that are easy to encounter at work, and also allowed everyone to get to know other colleagues better through group discussions, so that the work atmosphere could be more harmonious. Finally, a foosball competition was arranged to let everyone feel the importance of teamwork.

### LINE Taiwan Internal Hackathon 2020

LINE values the autonomous innovation and teamwork of its employees, so LINE Internal Hackathons are held in various locations. This is the second internal hackathon competition in LINE Taiwan, and we also look forward to seeing the creativity generated by different teams after their brainstorming.

The first internal event received a lot of feedback. Many non-engineering teams also hoped to participate, so this year, the participation method was specifically modified. The theme of the second LINE internal hackathon competition was "Team up for A+", aiming to encourage colleagues to work together to optimize and innovate more amazing (WOW) products and services.
