Open source projects thrive or die based in large part on their community of contributors. It behooves maintainers to make opportunities for recognition and support of their contributors abundant. As a tool to allow contributors to showcase and validate their expertise, Meshery maintainers are thrilled to announce the launch of the Certified Meshery Contributor (CMC) certification — the project’s first certification and a first of its kind for the CNCF — crafted to acknowledge and authenticate the proficiency of developers actively shaping the Meshery ecosystem.

Since the latest release, many contributors have improved Meshery’s CLI experience, reliability, testing, and internal organization. We would like to thank them all.

As the leaves begin to turn and the air grows crisp, it can only mean one thing: Hacktoberfest is here! This annual celebration of open source, hosted by Digital Ocean, invites contributors from all over the world to participate in a month-long extravaganza of code contributions. While the allure of limited-edition swag may be enticing, it’s essential to approach Hacktoberfest with a mindset focused on quality, respect for maintainers, and a commitment to long-term community engagement.
