The impl period newsletter #4

The impl period

We’re just past the 2/3rds marker on the impl period, and still going strong!

The “impl period” consists of 37 working groups, all helping push our 2017 roadmap to completion. There’s a global Gitter channel (with IRC bridge), and dedicated channels for each working group.

This effort is intended for people with all experience levels and interests — there really is something for everyone, and the WG leads are putting a ton of work into mentoring. If you’re not sure what working group is right for you, drop by the main chatroom and introduce yourself, and we’ll help you find your way!
