DataFam Roundup: Feb 12, 2021

Welcome! Last week, we launched the Tableau Community Hub—a space dedicated to elevating the people and programs of the community. With it, we revealed a new Community blog dedicated to highlighting content, projects, and stories from our DataFam. Today, we’re excited to kick off our new weekly roundup that brings together what’s trending in the community all in one post. Here’s what to expect:

This new weekly roundup series is designed to elevate community content. So, we invite you to send us your content—and the DataFam content from your peers that have inspired you! Use the above bullets as a starting point, but please share anything you think will benefit the community. You’ll find the content submission form here.
