As we announced in Recruiting Contributors and Maintainers we’re actively trying to increase the DDEV community of contributors and maintainers. To do that, we’re going to start a series of trainings, and we’d love to have you come. The trainings will include information on how to contribute by:

  • Involvement in the issue queue and Discord channel
  • Creating pull requests to solve known problems or provide new features
  • 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
  • Build and improve Docker images

Live training sessions will be held weekly on Tuesdays at 8am US MT, 5pm CET or CEST. The trainings will be recorded for everybody’s benefit. Sign up on the simple form below to get the calendar invite with zoom link.
