Celebrating community contributions
The Launchpad project is almost 21 years old! Many people have contributed to the project over this lifetime, and we are thankful for all of them. We understand the value of a strong community and we are taking steps to reinvigorate Launchpad’s once-thriving community.
There are two common suggestions for getting started in open source: fixing bugs and contributing to documentation. Early in 2024, Canonical launched the Canonical Open Documentation Academy; an initiative that aims to break down barriers to open source contribution, and work with the community to raise the bar for documentation practice. The Open Documentation Academy has been helping people get involved in open source and has also been helping projects achieve ever higher standards in documentation. Launchpad is one such project.
Today, we recognize and celebrate our community contributors. We hope they enjoyed contributing to Launchpad as much as we enjoyed working with them!
