Open Source Hack Night

Join us in our bi-weekly meetup to contribute back to your favorite open source project, and meet the local open source community. Not sure what you want to contribute to? We'd be happy to help you find a project and get started. This meeting is also part of the global 24 Pull Requests initiative. (https://24pullrequests.com)

New comers to open source are welcome - this is a great opportunity to learn more about open source, network with experienced developers, and take your first steps in the open source world.

Contributions can take many forms:

• Development of new or existing projects

• Bug reporting, testing and triage

• Documentation

• UX/UI design and graphic work

• Translation and localization

• And much more!

Be sure to bring your own laptop.

If you have a project you plan to work on, please mention it in the comments and perhaps you will find partners to join you.

If you're interested in Scala or node.js - the BigPanda team will be working on open-sourcing a few internal libraries that are heavily used. They will also be happy to help you make open-source contributions to Scala libraries: functional programming libraries such as Cats (https://github.com/typelevel/cats) or Scalaz (https://github.com/scalaz/scalaz); projects such as ENSIME (https://github.com/ensime/ensime-server) and any other project you can think of!

Thanks to Big Panda (https://bigpanda.io/) for hosting us and providing refreshments!
