| 2 | + |
| 3 | +Vue's community is growing incredibly fast and if you're reading this, there's a good chance you're ready to join it. So... welcome! |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +Now we'll answer both what the community can do for you and what you can do for the community. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +## Resources |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +### Code of Conduct |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +Our [Code of Conduct](/coc) is a guide to make it easier to enrich all of us and the technical communities in which we participate. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +### Get Support |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +- [Forum](https://forum.vuejs.org/): The best place to ask questions and get answers about Vue and its ecosystem. |
| 16 | +- [Chat](https://chat.vuejs.org/): A place for Vue devs to meet and chat in real time. |
| 17 | +- [Meetups](https://events.vuejs.org/meetups): Want to find local Vue.js enthusiasts like yourself? Interested in becoming a community leader? We have the help and support you need right here! |
| 18 | +- [GitHub](https://github.com/vuejs): If you have a bug to report or feature to request, that's what the GitHub issues are for. We also welcome pull requests! |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +### Explore the Ecosystem |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +- [The Awesome Vue Page](https://github.com/vuejs/awesome-vue): See what other awesome resources have been published by other awesome people. |

| 24 | + |
| 25 | +## What You Can Do |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +### Contribute Code |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +As with any project, there are rules to contributing. To ensure that we can help you or accept your pull request as quickly as possible, please read [the contributing guide](https://github.com/vuejs/vue/blob/dev/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md). |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +After that, you'll be ready to contribute to Vue's core repositories: |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +- [vue](https://github.com/vuejs/vue): the core library |
| 34 | +- [vuex](https://github.com/vuejs/vuex): Flux-inspired state management |
| 35 | +- [vue-router](https://github.com/vuejs/vue-router): a routing system for SPAs |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +...as well as many smaller official [companion libraries](https://github.com/vuejs). |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +### Share (and Build) Your Experience |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +Apart from answering questions and sharing resources in the forum and chat, there are a few other less obvious ways to share and expand what you know: |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +- **Develop learning materials.** It's often said that the best way to learn is to teach. If there's something interesting you're doing with Vue, strengthen your expertise by writing a blog post, developing a workshop, or even publishing a gist that you share on social media. |
| 44 | +- **Watch a repo you care about.** This will send you notifications whenever there's activity in that repository, giving you insider knowledge about ongoing discussions and upcoming features. It's a fantastic way to build expertise so that you're eventually able to help address issues and pull requests. |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +### Translate Docs |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +Vue has already spread across the globe, with even the core team in at least half a dozen timezones. [The forum](https://forum.vuejs.org/) includes 7 languages and counting and many of our docs have [actively-maintained translations](https://github.com/vuejs?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=vuejs.org). We're very proud of Vue's international reach, but we can do even better. |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +I hope that right now, you're reading this sentence in your preferred language. If not, would you like to help us get there? |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +If so, please feel free to fork the repo for [these docs](https://github.com/vuejs/vuejs.org/) or for any other officially maintained documentation, then start translating. Once you've made some progress, open an issue or pull request in the main repo and we'll put out a call for more contributors to help you out. |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +### Become a Community Leader |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +There's a lot you can do to help Vue grow in your community: |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +- **Present at your local meetup.** Whether it's giving a talk or running a workshop, you can bring a lot of value to your community by helping both new and experienced Vue developers continue to grow. |
| 59 | +- **Start your own meetup.** If there's not already a Vue meetup in your area, you can start your own! Use the [resources at events.vuejs.org](https://events.vuejs.org/resources/#getting-started) to help you succeed! |
| 60 | +- **Help meetup organizers.** There can never be too much help when it comes to running an event, so offer a hand to help out local organizers to help make every event a success. |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +If you have any questions on how you can get more involved with your local Vue community, reach out at [@Vuejs_Events](https://www.twitter.com/vuejs_events)! |
