Join us on Tuesday 23 April for our 13th OpenUK London community meetup! We’re helping each other find work and our next colleagues! Open source does not have to be unpaid work!

Check out and add to our Giant Job Board! Please print any awesome roles you know that are available in the UK or remote on an A4 and bring it. Bonus if you include a QR code! Recruiters and hiring managers are welcome – we’ve a great community you should hire from!

7:00 pm: Panel discussion on the different kinds of paid work opportunities with open source and how people can turn volunteer contributions into their next paid gigs. How do you contribute relevant OSS work that will help you get your next job? Bring questions! This will not be recorded so it’s a safe space for everyone.
