- Test new prereleases
- Understand basic Go programming techniques
- Set up a Go development environment using Goland or Vscode
- Run automated tests on your own machine
- Manage failed test runs and improve our tests
- Explore new test platforms for DDEV macOS and Windows automated tests
- Maintain and improve DDEV’s documentation
- Maintain and improve ddev.com
- Participate in reaching out to DDEV’s current and future financial funders
- Participate in marketing strategy and implementation
