To help people get together and contribute, there's an online conference.
Starting at midnight 29 January (Wellington, New Zealand) to midnight 31 January (Alofi, Niue) the event will be available to aid in collaboration.
Why Veertly?
The Veertly platform is open source (https://github.com/veertly/app) with an Apache licence and uses Jitsi (https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet) as it's video streaming solution.
Registering?
You can enter using your Google account, with an email or you can enter as a guest where the only information that is required is a First Name.
Software
The platform is hosted in a browser. This eliminates the need to download other software such as Slack, Microsoft Teams, etc.
How will it work?
We'll be using the Rooms feature to group people together. This could be by topic, location, user group, or company.
If there isn't a group for your purpose, you can make your own.
Feel free to any ask questions you have about the platform and I'll try to answer them. ????

Don't know what's going on.
You can try https://contributionweekend.org/v/dgcw21 – that skips a redirect.
I've tried different ways to reproduce the error, but I can't manage to break it.
It is a new site and domain, so there could be some proliferation delays.
