Hey SUMO folks,
Summer is here. Despite the current situation of the world, I hope you can still enjoy a bit of sunshine and the breezing air wherever you are. And while vacations are planned, SUMO is still busy with lots of projects and releases. So let’s get the recap started!
Welcome on board!
Community news
- One of our goal for Q3 this year is to revamp the onboarding experience for contributor that is focused on the /get-involved page. To support this work, we’re currently conducting a survey to understand how effective is the current onboarding information we provide. Please fill out the survey if you haven’t and share it to your community and fellow contributors!
- No Kitsune update for this month. Check out SUMO Engineering Board instead to see what the team is currently doing.
Community call
- Watch the monthly community call if you haven’t. Learn more about what’s new in July!
- Reminder: Don’t hesitate to join the call in person if you can. We try our best to provide a safe space for everyone to contribute. You’re more than welcome to lurk in the call if you don’t feel comfortable turning on your video or speaking up. If you feel shy to ask questions during the meeting, feel free to add your questions on the contributor forum in advance, or put them in our Matrix channel, so we can address them during the meeting.
