Building a network of people, preferably over a wider geographic area and nurturing those relations. These people could be a mix of people you know in person or on social media, particularly on Twitter, LinkedIn and perhaps GitHub. You typically meet these people via events (conferences, hiking, kickball, running, etc) and shared interests.
