Hello there!

In thinking around how we can help our community have a better understanding of how we develop the OCDS, we've put together a webinar for you to learn just that. In this 60 minute webinar, a member of the OCDS Helpdesk will take you through how the OCDS community uses Github to collaboratively develop the standard and how you can get involved.

To ensure we cover good ground during the session, we presume no prior knowledge of Github and will demonstrate how to create an account, find the Open Contracting and OCDS repositories, and how you can contribute to discussions. The main objectives of this webinar are to:

Introduce the ways in which OCDS standard development occurs through Github
Demonstrate how to find relevant OCDS discussions on Github
Demonstrate how to contribute to or create new OCDS discussions on Github

This webinar will be happening on 9 September 2020 at 16:00pm (GMT+1) / 11:00am (EST). Please register here

Kindly note that this webinar will be recorded and published online. Thank you and I'm looking forward to seeing you there!

Best Regards,

Andie Okon
