Tech evangelism explained
A person who builds a critical mass of support for a given technology, and then establishes it as a technical standard in a market that is subject to network effects.
An evangelist promotes the use of a particular product or technology through talks, articles, blogging, user demonstrations, recorded demonstrations, or the creation of sample projects.

The word evangelism is taken from the context of religious evangelism due to the similarity of relaying information about a particular set of beliefs with the intention of converting the recipient.
