Celebrating OSS contributions: 100 issues of Skrift

About this episode

The episode discusses the journey of the Skrift team in contributing to the open-source community and celebrates their 100th issue.

There are many ways to contribute to an open-source software community, such as attending a meetup, giving a talk at a conference or writing a blog post. In this episode we talk to Erica, Janae and Kyle: the team behind Skrift, the online monthly magazine for the Umbraco community. Eight years ago they decided to start this initiative and 100 issues later they're still going strong! Listen to discover how it came about, why they still do it, and perhaps get inspired to contribute an article yourself... We also discuss some exciting news from Lotte, the challenges of making consistent contributions to open source, delivering technical talks and some delightful tangents into pop culture!
