Octo7, Blacktocats, OctoAsians, Octogatos, and Adacats are pairing up to bring Hubbers a day of learning and brainstorming from within our communities. We are trying to meet 10% Hubber partipation during Volunteer month for Earth Day!
Hack Epic Planning: For the first half we are using the best practices we have picked up across this stack and our skillsets to do an epic planning session for the next iterations of the Amplify product. ProgramEquity provides us community informed research which translates advoocacy requests into Epics we volunteer to plan implementation of.
Learning Circle with CoBs: For the second part of the learning and brainstorm day, we have 3 panels for you to listen to and deepen your understanding of sustainability, land stewardship, and Indigenous communities across the globe
Take the Amplify app to the next level so its robust enough to go from supporting ~40 advocacy groups to hundreds across civic rights and sustainability. The first part of an Earth Day Learning Day will focus on your input on the following issues for best implementation practices
| Stack | Foundational Tools | |
| 📄 PM and Technical Documentation | Markdown, Agile methodology | Docs, Wikis, Issues, Project Boards |
| 🗂 Backend | Node, Postregres, VueJS | GitHub flow, ORM, Knex |
| 🔍 QA & Testing | Typescript, YAML | Test linters |
| 🔏 DevSecOps | YAML, CodeQL | Actions, CI/CD Heroku, Secrets, Permissions, Dependabot |
Our goal is to create complete issues outlining solutions in a way that Bootcamp students who are new to open source and webapp strtuctures can implement
1. First, select the skillset you'd like to participate in:
2. In the second part, select one epic you'd like to be a part of to write out implementation instructions for:
- Epic 1: Bettering codespace experience for outside collaborators
- Epic 2: Enhancing OSS DevSecOps through security policy and actions like Mayhem API
- Epic 3: Automating documentation workflows with OpenAPI
- Epic 4: QA bugs and unit tests for Cicero and Stripe APIs(Jest)
- Epic 5: Integrating user education with Twilio and Chatbot APIs
- Epic 6: Abstracting database operations via Objection ORM
3. An Epic is complete when it has the following
In the CoB hosted learning day conversations, you will have a chance to finish work asynchronously with your team within GitHub issues and #advocats slack channel as a way to accumulate more prizes for your favorite charity through Benevity on top of the prizes you get to redeem from hours volunteered.
Participants will spend the day across multiple workshops led by DEI firms and land trusts as we put on the lens of a community informed design framework.

ProgramEquity provides research that is driven and designed through community dialogue through skillbased volunteer workflows. 5 hours, 40 advocacy groups and Indigenous led land trusts, unified climate action.
Indigenous people protect over 80% of the world's diversity, this learning day is an opening conversation for us to start understanding our relationship with our earth and the very ground we stand on today as sentient.
Our connection with our Earth is fostered through climate action and we're dedicating the day to evolving the Amplify platform to accomodate more than 40+ advocacy groups based in sustainability.
Sustainability happens when we transform the dynamic of land belonging to us to how we can belong to the land we occupy. This work is often led by advocacy groups who just like open source - rely on volunteer contributors.
