What is the Open Stage?

Once a month, we want to open our open stage on Discord to give you and us the opportunity to present topics, give presentations (from very short to really long), start discussions, and exchange ideas in a completely uncomplicated way and without any major pressure.

Get started as a speaker, learn new things or see what we are up to.

We invite you to:

Bring a topic you’re working on
Present something small or big
Join a discussion
Share a challenge you’re facing
Show your contributions
Suggest a new community activity

We aim to create an open, kind, and supportive stage for everyone.

Share your ideas

Session Types Talk (20–30 min) Deep dive: demos, architecture, features, workflows, learnings.

Tiny Talk (5 min, beginner-friendly) Quick insight: bug fix, first contribution, helpful command, small change, open question.

Discussion (10–15 min) Guided conversation on plugin structure, testing, deployment, productivity, and community ideas.
