Help to get started<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]There are many areas in Nextcloud you can get involved in. From technical tasks like building an app, design, coding on the front or back-end to translation and helping out on the forums.<\/p>\n

We want to enable everyone to get involved and we recognize that the privileged nature of the tech community is an extra barrier for underrepresented groups. We hope to help lower that barrier by connecting you directly to somebody who wants to help you.<\/p>\n

We have a number of people who are happy to help you get started![\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Apply here” i_align=”right” i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-angle-right” add_icon=”true” el_class=”btn-main” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fcloud.nextcloud.com%2Fapps%2Fforms%2Fs%2FZnrc67JwPHQMTgJ35dTNBjoP|target:_blank”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=”20″ content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1674121015606{margin-top: 4rem !important;margin-bottom: 4rem !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ el_class=”text-right”][vc_column_text el_class=”nc-section-title”]<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1696258398568{margin-top: 2rem !important;margin-bottom: 2rem !important;}”]The Nextcloud community meets regularly at big hackweeks or smaller ad-hoc ones all over Europe. We also host our yearly Nextcloud Conference and attend many events<\/a> like FOSDEM and SCALE.<\/p>\n

We want to support participants from underrepresented groups in Open Source to join these events by sponsoring part or the whole of their transportation and accomodation costs.<\/p>\n

If you would like to join a Nextcloud event, let us know<\/a>! We typically support 80% of the travel & hotel costs but we can accommodate you if that would not be sufficient. Don\u2019t hesitate to reach out and ask!<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t think you are part of an underrepresented group in Open Source and need travel support, please do not reach out here.
