Working on projects together is a great way to get to know the community, level up your dev skills, and make a meaningful contribution to open source projects. It's also a lot of fun.
We want to start hosting community "jam sessions" where devICTers work together on a project for a day. This will probably start out as a quarterly event and can be remote-only. Planning a group project, scheduling, etc. -- all the behind-the-scenes stuff that makes it work -- requires a dedicated project leader.
Idea
We need a volunteer Project Coordinator to take this idea and build it into a recurring event. We can tap into the community for help selecting and coordinating the specific open source project each time, but we need a single individual to be the "glue" that makes it all happen.
Expectations
Solidify the vision of the event and all the details -- this is your chance to use your creativity to improve the local dev community
Choose the project the group will work on each time -- either by polling the community or ruling with your own iron fist
Ensure that the project has issues that can be solved by a variety of experience levels by the time of the event
Promote the event in Slack and make sure people know about it
Help out the day of the event as needed
Iterate!
