  • 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
