Hey all, Wanted to give a quick update (and additional "plug") on this front.
After a bit of delay, we're finally ready to kick things off with a short 1-hour discussion, "Contributing to Solr", as a sort of interactive, informal demo of how to get started in the community and in contributing. (We have follow-up sessions and other activities (e.g. office hours, etc.) in mind as well, but wanted to get this one on the calendar first and then re-evaluate.) We'd love for anyone interested to attend (whether they've reached out to one of us previously, or not). There's no preparation required, but attendees should plan to join from their development environment of choice in case they want to follow along with any of the setup we'll be going through. To simplify scheduling and in hopes of accommodating as many time zones as we can, we’re aiming to hold this discussion in two time slots, both on this coming Thursday, October 20th. Option 1: 9:00am EST (2pm GMT) using the following Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86936847178 Option 2: 4:00pm EST (9pm GMT) using the following Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82503480742 Knowing those time slots won't work for everyone, we're considering a third option later. Let us know if you are interested but unable to attend. We're also hoping to record the sessions and make them available for async viewing, for those who can't attend any of the options. Looking forward to meeting folks on Thursday!
