Teams¶

This page lists the stable core teams which handle some important aspects of the day-to-day community life of ChiliProject. These teams exist to structure our daily work and streamline communication. If you want to contribute in any of the listed areas, you could either contact the team lead or any of the members, or just start your work there. The community and the team members are very likely to get in contact with you as you start working. Always remember, we are no closed circle, but encourage everyone to contribute. There are many areas outside of Ruby coding where we need help.

To get a glimpse of who the community is, you can also take a look at our Who page, where some of the community members tell a bit about themselves.
