December Developer Days 2025 December DeveloperDays (aka DDD) are a chance for developers to work on small tickets, add documentation, increase test coverage, and work on other tasks estimated to take ~ 5 hours or less that otherwise may not get prioritized. During this time, we are happy to help new developers work on first issues or otherwise get started on the development of LinkML. Find logistical information below.  When: The next 2 Fridays in December (December 12 and 19, 2025) from 9AM-11PM PT (4PM-6PM UTC) Find all the links you need here to join. Questions? Contact Kevin (Ke...@tislab.org) or Corey (Co...@tislab.org) via email or Slack.  Please join us! We look forward to connecting with you for all or part of the DDD.  Monthly Community Call The Monthly LinkML Community call, typically held on the third Thursday of every month at 8AM PT / 4PM UTC, is canceled in December in favor of the December Developer Days.  We will see you back at the community call on January 15th, 2026. We still have one slot open for a presentation or demo of a LinkML use case in January. Reach out to Sarah (sa...@tislab.org) if you'd like to snag the spot.
