Come join thoughtbot for a free, full day of open source hacking on October 25th. In each of the four available tracks, we’ll set up a development environment for the project, work on real issues, and discuss everything open source. thoughtbotters will also give three different talks throughout the day.

Why join

Open Source is part of our DNA and it's a way to share what we learn with the community. If contributing to Open Source is part of your aspirations for the year, don't miss the opportunity to collaborate closely with maintainers and regular Open Source contributors.

Our goal is to make Open Source more accessible and provide opportunities to get more people to contribute to Open Source.

Join the event to:

• Contribute to open source with maintainers of Administrate, Belt, FactoryBot, and Langchain.rb
• Watch talks about open source and tech
• T-shirt giveaway for each track

Each track will be led by a host and volunteers. You'll have time to setup the project, hack together, take breaks, and ask questions.
