Community Team

We are excited to invite you to our upcoming Community Sprint in Ghent, Belgium, which will take place from January 31st to February 1st with an optional social day on February 2nd before heading back to Brussels where some will be going on to attend Europe's largest open source event, FOSDEM. This sprint is an incredible opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and actively contribute to our open-source project in a collaborative and engaging environment.

What is a Community Sprint?

During the Community Sprint, we gather individuals with varying skill sets and interests to work together on advancing our project. Whether you are a developer, designer, marketer, technical writer, or simply enthusiastic about our cause, there are numerous ways for you to get involved. There is an opportunity to join in-person, and also to join remotely. Why not get a group of you together and have your own community sprint where you focus on improving something you really care about? Learn more in our blog post.

What to Expect

Over the course of two days, we will come together to tackle various tasks and projects related to our project's growth and development. From coding and testing to marketing strategies, technical documentation, community engagement, and more, there is a place for everyone to make a valuable contribution.

For folks in-person, we'll have a morning and afternoon session and break for lunch. If you're joining remotely, please try to be there at the start of the time slot!
