Getting Involved

Are you ready to join the fun and make a difference? First, go to the GitHub discussions forum and say “Hi” in the Introductions category and/or read & comment on any of the discussions. You can also browse and join any of the lively discussions there. This is the best way to learn and get involved with this awesome working group and the wider GSF community.
Do you have a brilliant project idea that you want to share with the world? Then start a discussion on the GitHub Ideas board and get the interest of at least three people from 2 different member organizations. You can then contact the chairs or PM, who will add your idea to the next working group meeting agenda.
Our Community Working Group meets every 2 weeks on a Wednesday at 1500 UTC. We will transition to Zoom for these meetings following feedback from our members.
