 Hello everyone and welcome to the introduction to the Circuit Python Development Sprint. I'm Katny and I'm here with Alec to talk about the details. Let's start with the when and the where. Hi, so the Sprint is happening today and it's running from 1pm Eastern to 5pm Eastern. It's a virtual event hosted on the Adafruit Discord, which you can join at any time by going to adafru.it slash discord. The chat will be happening in the Circuit Python dash dev channel on the Discord. What is the Circuit Python Development Sprint? Great question. Development sprints are a chance for folks to get together, hack, and generally work on a particular project. And in this case, it's Circuit Python. How can folks contribute to Circuit Python? There's multiple ways to contribute. There's 300 libraries all written in Python, and between them 650 plus issues. There's also the core, which is written in C, and there's even more issues for that. There are bug fixes, feature additions, documentation improvements, and a lot of other ways to contribute. What if someone has never contributed to Circuit Python before? It's not a problem. If you're new to contributing to open source entirely, there are a number of beginner level issues available. There's also a guide to contributing to Circuit Python using Git and GitHub available at adafruit.com in the Learn System. Folks are available on Discord to help out in real time. If you're only new to Circuit Python, the same guide will be helpful for getting you set up with things specific to Circuit Python. And again, folks are available on Discord and can help you figure out where to get started. Do folks need to be contributing directly to Circuit Python or the libraries to participate? Not at all. If you want to come by and work on your own Circuit Python project, that would be great. We're happy to help how we can. Do attendees need to be there the whole time to participate? No. Feel free to come in at any point to contribute and stay for as long or as little as you'd like. How can folks reach out for help during the sprints? Great question. If you have any questions about the sprint specifically, feel free to reach out to me, Tech Trick, on GitHub or Discord. If you have any questions while contributing and participating, you can reach out on Discord in the Circuit Python-dev channel. There's no need to tag anyone. We'll get back to you with help. Alec, thanks for joining me today to talk about the Circuit Python development sprint. The sprint is starting at 1 p.m. Eastern in just a few minutes. You can check out the chat on the Adafruit Discord. Join any time by going to adafru.it-discord. Join us in the Circuit Python-dev channel. Hope to see you there.
