The Support Liaison role is aimed at building and maintaining a good relationship with another (non-product) team's representative in order to learn about each other's teams and how they work, and then to develop processes and documentation to allow the two teams to work together easily and effectively on an ongoing basis.

The Open Source Support Liaison (OSS Liaison) assists GitLab's Open Source Partners with technical questions, problems, and needs.
The OSS Liaison has three main duties - building rapport, providing assistance, and making connections.
OSS Liaisons sit in on meetings and attend Q&A sessions with open source partners to build rapport, address technical questions, and nurture a thriving relationship. When Open Source partners are in need of technical support or assistance with GitLab, an OSS Liaison serves as a point of contact on the Support team. As a point of contact, OSS Liaisons assist with basic technical support questions or escalate internally and find others to assist with more complicated technical problems. OSS Liaisons also subscribe to notifications on issues created by partners and help by getting other team members or teams involved in finding solutions.
Familiarity with open source concepts, licenses, and communities is recommended.
If you're on the Support Team and would like to be an Open Source Support
Liaison, post in #spt_managers and reach out to GitLab's Open Source Program
Manager (@nuritzi).
