Oh, hey. I was watering my plants today and I got to thinking about how open source communities are a lot like plants. I mean, technically they're more like gardens, but the principles are still the same. They need sunshine. They need water. They need nutrients. They need a positive environment where they can thrive. And open source communities and open source projects are very much the same way. They rely on a lot of different things besides just code. And oftentimes people come up to me and my colleagues on the developer relations team at Umbraco and they ask us, "How can I get more involved?" Like, "How do I get more involved in the Umbraco community?" And if you're new here, or if you're new to any open source community, it can be intimidating, or even if you've been around for a while and you just don't know what the next steps are to take, we have put together a really helpful guide for how to take those next steps in the community. How to find your pathway. How to find the best way to show up and contribute to our community. We have a blog post linked below this video and we also have a helpful guide on our community site and it'll guide you through the steps that you need to find your people, find your pathway, and make some noise about all the awesome things that you're doing in the community. Open source communities can only thrive when people show up and participate, and share a part of themselves. And we're so eager to see what types of things you'd like to bring to the community going forward. So, take a look at that guide and find your pathway. Find your people. We're excited you're here and we're excited about the next steps that you're going to take. See you. I'm going to go back to watering my plants. Yes. You're doing so good.
