As an open-source Digital Public Good (DPG), our strength lies in our community. Your feedback and requests are crucial to making OpenFn better for governments and humanitarian organizations around the world. Here are a few ways you can get involved and help shape the future of workflow automation and data integration: 1. **Upvote and Request New Features** We have introduced a new [feature request](https://community.openfn.org/c/feature-requests/12) category to collect, manage, and vote requests from the OpenFn community. When a new request is posted or a comment is made to an existing post, community members are notified. Upvoted feature requests are reviewed periodically for potential consideration for upcoming development cycles. To request a new feature, visit the [features request page](https://community.openfn.org/c/feature-requests/12) and click `+ New Topic` to create a post to describe the feature with the title, description, and image (optional). ![Request a new feature on OpenFn](https://community.openfn.org/uploads/default/original/1X/23ffb70fe1bb2f81aa320bdf7449d7ad6731d575.jpeg) To upvote a new feature request, click on the `Vote` button beside the title of the post as shown below. ![Vote feature request](https://community.openfn.org/uploads/default/original/1X/eab747f9f50ad23f79741d720198b8478e14aedb.png) 1. **Learn More About Our Roadmap** Stay informed about the future direction of our platform by exploring our roadmap. The roadmap provides insights into our current priorities and upcoming features for the next 6 months. We encourage you to take a look at the roadmap [here](https://docs.openfn.org/documentation/contribute/openfn-roadmap) and suggest priorities that align with your needs through the feature requests page or by commenting on an issue. Link to roadmap: [https://docs.openfn.org/documentation/contribute/openfn-roadmap](https://docs.openfn.org/documentation/contribute/openfn-roadmap) 2. **Share Your Work** Sharing your projects and implementations is a great way to contribute to the community. By showcasing your work, you help new users get started and inspire others with your approach. Whether it’s a case study, a tutorial, or a simple “_How I Automated This_” post, your shared experience is invaluable. 3. **Contribute Code** If you’re a developer, consider contributing to our codebase. Open-source contributions are welcome, and we appreciate your help in improving the platform. Whether you’re fixing bugs, adding new features, or improving documentation, your code contributions make a difference. **Relevant Links:** - [Bugs Board](https://github.com/orgs/OpenFn/projects/3/views/22) - [Lightning Repo](https://github.com/openFn/lightning) - [Kit Repo](https://github.com/openFn/kit) - [Documentation](https://github.com/openFn/docs) Happy Automatin’ ---
