Home Assistant meetups are great for getting to know your local community members and learning from each other – but what about people who use other projects from the Open Home Foundation, like ESPHome and Music Assistant? That's where Community Day comes in! This year, for the first time we're bringing the whole Open Home Foundation community together on Saturday, November 7. Hosts are setting up meetups in cities around the world where everyone's invited, whatever project you're into.
Our interactive map helps you sort what's what: use the filter to see all events, only Home Assistant meetups, or only Community Day events. Then select a marker to see the details and register on Luma.

Got some questions?
No matter your experience, there are plenty of ways to get involved and contribute to Home Assistant! If you’ve got the dev skills, start here, which shows you how to craft a PR, and then check out our extensive Core documentation to help familiarize yourself with our architecture. There you will find instructions on how to join the Developers category in our Discord server, which allows you to chat directly with other developers.
If you're knowledgeable about how to use Home Assistant, don't be afraid to hop onto one (or more) of our community platforms to share this knowledge. This is a great way to contribute if you’re not a developer. Additionally, suppose you're a designer and are passionate about Home Assistant. In that case, we'd love for you to check out our Developers category in Discord (Follow the steps to join the development server, and choose I want to contribute design skills!).
If you’re not able to give your time, you can also financially support the foundation, which pays passionate people to work on Home Assistant full-time. Subscribing to Home Assistant Cloud or purchasing our officially licensed Home Assistant hardware supports the development of this project and many others. In the near future, we hope to relaunch our merch store where community members can purchase swag to support the foundation.
