Summary

GitLab fosters a vibrant community by welcoming contributions from individuals regardless of their employment status with the company, as evidenced by over 2,500 merged community contribution merge requests (MRs). To further engage this community, GitLab is hosting a virtual Hackathon on September 27-28, encouraging participants to work on issues marked as "Accepting merge requests," with incentives such as GitLab swag vouchers for those whose MRs are merged within a week of the event. Additionally, the event will feature expert presentations and Q&A sessions, which will be recorded and shared on GitLab's YouTube channel. Following the Hackathon, an Issue Bash will take place on September 29-30, and a new GitLab Community room in Gitter has been created to facilitate communication and support among contributors. The "Contributing to GitLab" page offers guidance on how to contribute to various aspects of GitLab, including code, documentation, translation, and UX design, with additional support available via email.
