<h1>Trust us, it&#x27;s not magic!</h1><p>Have you ever felt that some Open Source Commons applications and Community Sprint projects are built by &quot;open-sourcery&quot; magicians with magical powers? It sure does seem like it sometimes, but actually couldn&#x27;t be further from the truth! </p><p>Register today and join us for a first ever half-day training &amp; collaboration event to learn more about the CumulusCI suite of tools being used by Nonprofit and Education volunteers just like you. Yes, you!</p><h1><strong>Who Should Attend?</strong></h1><p><strong>TL:DR</strong> (too long;didn&#x27;t read) = Everyone! Yes, you!</p><p>Bringing an idea to life takes much more than just a skilled developer. We aim to educate and encourage everyone in our community to explore new tools and techniques to see how they can contribute. The tools covered in this training can be used by everyone from Admins to Architects with a little training, and we encourage you to dive in with a learning mind.</p><p>Salesforce.org is committed to hosting a diverse and inclusive event. To that end, we employ inclusive marketing and outreach strategies to recruit diverse participants in our Community. We encourage you to share this event within your networks to help with these efforts.</p><h1>Agenda Overview</h1><p>(subject to change)</p><h3>CumulusCI Tooling Suite Introduction (60 mins)</h3><p>Hear Jason Lantz, Director of Release Engineering at Salesforce.org, provide an overview of our open source contribution tools in use by the Open Source Commons Community today, including:</p><ul><li><a href="https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/content/learn/trails/build-applications-with-cumulusci" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"><strong>CCI</strong></a> - A command-line based tool that helps build great applications on the Salesforce platform by automating org setup, testing, and deployment for everyone — from developers and admins to testers and product managers. </li><li><a href="https://github.com/SFDO-Tooling/Metecho" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"><strong>Metecho</strong></a> - If command-line just ISN&#x27;T.

We&#x27;ll create space for anyone to join in a tool specific conversation, Q&amp;A, hands-on, or even some Sprint style brainstorming and contribution. We don&#x27;t know exactly what will come of these conversations and that&#x27;s just how we like it. If there&#x27;s any open-sourcery magic in our community, THIS is where it is.  </p><h3><strong>Contact Us</strong></h3><p>If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to sfdo-opensource@salesforce.com.</p><p></p>
