Thanks @Dhara for your application. The event is now at capacity for participants but I’ve added you to the waitlist and I’ll let you know if we get any cancellations.
As a software engineer one option would be joining next weekend for the Buildathon which has plenty of space at this point. This is where we’ll be building the winning projects from tomorrow.
One other alternate idea for you if you want to be part of tomorrow: have a look at this project which still does not have a team leader. If that seems like something you would want to take on I can potentially get you in as team leader role on that one. DM me on the Discord to discuss if you’re interested in this.

@SaraNucifora & @JuanSalazar welcome! Great to have you here.
You both have the same two items left to complete on your onboarding checklist (the legal waiver and joining our Discord server). Other than that you’re all set.
Let me know if you have any issues completing those. cheers
I’m unable to find the legal waiver or the Discord server. Can you help me, please?
