DevStaff: A Developer Community in Crete

A Developer Community in Crete

There's a lot of us, devs, here in Crete. Yet, we hardly ever get together in large groups, or even know each other – somewhat strange for our small community, we hope you'll agree. This group is an attempt at bringing us all together for informal chats about what we're all passionate about: technology and software. Join the meetup, learn, teach, speak your mind, sharpen your skills, share the knowledge and help us build a community where devs can openly exchange ideas!

• Don't know where to start? Are you new to git and MeetUp? Here is a short intro about the tools we use: Start Here!

• You just want to join the group? Great! Join our MeetUp group or find us live on: Slack

• Want to contribute? Check the Contributing Guidelines and the Code of Conduct and send a pull request!

• Want to be social? Find us on: Twitter, YouTube, MeetUp, LinkedIn, and facebook.
