Google Cloud Community will replace the old Cloud Connect Community (CCC). Alongside all the communities you used on the CCC, you’ll also be able to use it to participate in:
Workspace Discussion Forums: Join peer-to-peer discussions with other Workspace experts Ideation and UX Research: Help drive product enhancements by contributing feature ideas and finding research participation opportunitiesCommunity Events: Virtual and in-person meetups and events which will enable you to engage directly with Product Managers and experts Community Blogs: Read and react to thought leadership and technical content from Google Cloud teams and customers. See below for instructions on how to migrate your existing profile, and set up notifications for the communities you want to follow.
