3 months ago Welcome to AsyncAPI. Thanks a lot for reporting your first issue. Please check out our contributors guide and the instructions about a basic recommended setup useful for opening a pull request.
Keep in mind there are also other channels you can use to interact with AsyncAPI community. For more details check out this issue.

3 months ago The AsyncAPI Bounty Program is definitely not for learning or to test and improve participants' AsyncAPI skills.
It is for engineers who already have professional levels Middle and Senior, and whose skills already allow them to complete the pre-defined assignments (which are not always coding.)
Bounty Program Participants do not ask, 'How to do it?' They ask, 'Which of three ways I immediately came up with should it be implemented?'
For 'How to do it?' there is the AsyncAPI Mentorship Program, which is completely unattached and independent.
The AsyncAPI Bounty Program is also not a coding challenge in the sense of coding for coding's sake, it's a set of practical tasks that are currently in demand by AsyncAPI Maintainers.
So, I think the Bounty Program should be specified as a separate section in 'Community Contribution' because it is a contribution to the project and it is a completely separate self-contained entity:
#
. . .
To meet the needs of AsyncAPI, we regularly publish a set of tasks that are currently in demand by AsyncAPI Maintainers, the completion of which is financially rewarded.
| Event | Description | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Bounty Program | A regularly published set of tasks in demand by AsyncAPI Maintainers, with levels of difficulty 'Medium' and 'Advanced' | Quarterly |

Community Marketing Strategy for AsyncAPI Initiative
AsyncAPI Initiative
Community Marketing Strategy
Introduction
Welcome to our journey of fostering innovation and growth through the AsyncAPI community. As the Community Marketing Specialist, I'm thrilled to lead this initiative alongside our dedicated team. Our goal is to bring together a vibrant developer community and ignite a passion for event-driven architecture and asynchronous APIs. By embracing this mission, we aim to enhance open-source tools to easily build and maintain your event-driven architecture. All are powered by the AsyncAPI specification, the industry standard for defining asynchronous APIs. This initiative is more than just an open-source project; it's a platform for collaboration, learning, building, and empowerment.
Demographics
We are a community of diverse people, and we have members across the globe.
Purpose Statement
Building the Future of Event-Driven Architectures (EDA). Create open-source tools to easily build and maintain your event-driven architecture. All are powered by the AsyncAPI specification, the industry standard for defining asynchronous APIs.
