Think that Beam's great, so happy to grow community -- by my individual involvement and to encourage others.
1). Users: I think that this can follow from the others being done well 2). Contributors: some other projects mark very simple contributions for newcomers to find as onramping. Hadn't noticed that here in the little I had explored. 3-5). Community/Event/Brand: Beam is inherently collaborative given its model and what I understand of purpose (different runners, batch/stream, etc). An easy place to start will be places that play very well and/or integrate with.
