Projects Jam
Every Friday around 19:00Z - 21:00Z, we meet on irc.freenode.net #peers to collaborate on active Peers projects. Everybody has the opportunity to ask for help with any open issues in their projects, and we work together to try to fix them. We have a short list of quick project jam ideas.
Would you like to help too? Feel free to join us! It's a good opportunity to help a free project, and also to get to know us! You can also read about past Jams in the blog section.
