# _Coding with Justin_ Partnership Brainstorming

###### tags: `Parternships`

## Who is *Coding with Justin*?

Coding with Justin is one of my favorite Youtube channels to learn Web Development from because of his focus on Vue!

I frequently send students Youtube videos from Justin's channel, because I believe his content is high quality and concise.

## Why do we want to work with Justin?

Grey software is trying to create a state of the art, free, online, open-source education ecosystem with resources such as high-quality videos in multiple languages.

I believe Justin can be an excellent partner to help us actualize the video component of this ecosytem.

## Collaboration Ideas

### Vue + Parse FullStack Tutorials

At Grey Software, we are trying to encourage students to use Parse instead of Firebase since it is a community-backed OSS platform.

I think tutorials on Parse + Vue that teach user authentication, writing and consuming APIs, etc. would help OSS learners.

### Teach software theory through applied examples in our OSS apps

Usually when we teach software concepts, we have to contrive an example along with it.

With Grey Software's suite of OSS apps, Justin can teach an example, and then apply it to an OSS app. For example, when making Vue 2 to Vue 3 migration videos

## Possible Arrangements

### 1. Justin accepts Grey Software's sponsorship and video ideas, posts to his channel and does shoutouts for our org

#### How will Justin benefit?

- I have many video ideas for Justin, and can get him help with code setup and other tasks
- Justin will receive an increased sponsorship from the organization for his OSS work

#### How will Grey Software benefit?

- We will get increased awareness for the org through mentions on Justin's videos as sponsors and idea generators of his videos
- Our team members from around the world and the greater OSS community will benefit from better learning content

### 2. Justin joins Grey Software as a core video production contributor for our OSS Education Ecosystem

#### How will Justin benefit?

- Larger stipends to help sustain his OSS work
- Gets to expand his reach to platforms like Scrimba
- Greater impact as a content producer who is being translated into multiple languages

#### How will Grey Software benefit?

By working with Justin, we can get his help leading video production and sharing his processes and resources so we can empower collaborators from other parts of the world to translate. When the OSS community wins, we win!
