Hello [placeholder],

REG runs monthly sessions where we come together and contribute to upstream > open-source repositories. The idea is to fence off time dedicated to contributing > upstream and to do it together for joy and sociality. We hope to give back to >many of the tools we use and learn about new packages by helping them out. >Everyone is welcome to come and work on something they want to contribute to >or join an effort someone else has already started.

The next session is happening on [placeholder date] and you are all invited. We >start at 2 pm [placeholder room] and hybrid. Come by and contribute to your >favourite open-source project or team up with someone else! We'll discuss what >everyone is working on in #open-source-hacksessions.

You can see the outcome of previous hack sessions in here.

We will be there all Friday afternoon, join us for some or all of it.
