Even if you are not a developer, there are lots of ways to be involved in the code sprint, without actually writing code; e.g.: testing, documentation, issues. As in previous code sprints, this sprint will include a mentor stream targeted at newcomers, which includes an onboarding day with lots of introductory tutorials (see <a
