Session
I have been a package sponsor and ambassador for more than ten years. During that time, we invited and sponsored many contributors who made tremendous contributions to the community, but many have retired or changed their paths.

The strategy is to look for people in companies and organizations that work in specific languages and projects and present them with how they can add more value directly to our distro as collaborators.
