5 September to 4 October 2026 · every day · 12:30 UTC

A month of getting people
into the code.

A whole month dedicated to helping more people start contributing to Collabora Online. There was a live call every single day, weekends included. Thank you to everyone who joined. The weekly community calls carry on, and so do the Easy Hacks.

Finished for this year

30 days of calls

What happened on the calls

One hour, every day, in the same room. People dropped in for any of it.

  1. Get your development environment working

    The build is the tallest step in contributing to this project. Bring the error you are stuck on and someone will look at it with you.

  2. Pick an Easy Hack, with a mentor

    90 tasks are scoped for a first contribution and most carry code pointers to the area they touch. We will help you choose one that suits what you already know.

  3. Find your way around the codebase

    A browser front end in TypeScript over a LibreOffice engine in C++. Ask where something lives instead of reading for a week to find out.

  4. Get help with code review

    Changes go through Gerrit rather than pull requests. We will walk you through your first push, and through the comments when they come back.

  5. Meet the people

    The names on the commits are in the call. That is most of what a community is.

The weekly calls carry on

Every call in the next seven days, in your own timezone. More on the Get Involved page.

    Start contributing any time

    These are the three doors that need the least setup.

    90 Easy Hacks open Scoped tasks with code pointers, most with a mentor named on them. 95 Languages on Weblate Translation needs no build and no Gerrit account. The widest door there is. Design with us Icons, dialogs and the design system. Bring an eye rather than a compiler.

    See you at the next one. Until then, the weekly calls are open to everyone.
