Join the etcd contributor community at this hands on session. We’ll be working on improving key features and testing for Etcd, and in the process we’ll teach those new to the project how to contribute. Etcd welcomes both new contributors and those who want to “level up”. Attendees should be familiar with programming in Go, using GitHub, and should bring a laptop on which they can do cloud-native development: either a Linux laptop or your own Github Devcontainer setup.
