Contributing

I (David) talked about what it means to be a part of the Redwood Community and how you’re invited to jump in! ('Cause even Rob gets nervous sometimes.) If you’re interested, please check out the section toward the end of the Main Session video. And you can also read through this early forum comment I wrote on Best way to Start Contributing. There are many equally important ways to get involved. And if you need any help or have any questions, drop us a line!


We think the next Meetup will happen in about a month during August. Please keep a lookout for announcements once we have a final date and time. We look forward to being with you again.

This is awesome. Will be looking forward to this meet up and contribute to the RW ecosystem anyway possible. :slight_smile:

Hey Raj, just a heads up that this was from last year (Redwood’s been around for a whole year???) and we do not currently have our next meetup scheduled but it will likely be sometime in July. It will be posted on the forums when the date is picked.
