Hello OpenFn Community,
My name is Dhieu David, a software developer from South Sudan. I’m truly glad to be part of this community and look forward to contributing and learning alongside you all.
Thank you.
Welcome to the OpenFn Community, @Dhieu
Thanks @Tresor for the warm welcome!
Happy to be part of the team!
HI @Dhieu, welcome aboard! What brings you to OpenFn? What are you working on?
Hi @joe ! Thanks for the warm welcome
I’m particularly interested in workflow automation and integration systems, especially in public health, government, and humanitarian contexts where interoperability is critical. I came across OpenFn on LinkedIn, read more about the platform, and was really drawn to its approach to building structured adaptors and automation pipelines.
In many organizations, integrating different systems so they can communicate effectively remains a real challenge. As someone who is motivated to contributing to open-source projects which is essential for building sustainable digital infrastructure. that creates tangible social impact, so OpenFn’s mission strongly align with me.
At the moment, I’ve been exploring the Apollo project and the adaptor architecture to better understand how everything fits together. I’m especially interested in contributing Python modules focused on data transformation and validation, since those seem highly reusable within workflow automation.
I’m looking forward to learning more about the platform and contributing where I can.
Awesome @Dhieu ! I’m glad we’ve caught your interest and that our mission resonates with you.
Apollo is our AI and knowledge platform - its what drives the in-app AI assistant (and maybe soon drives some tooling across the app and some other places).
It’s not directly involved in automations and workflows.
We don’t use python for data transformation - we use JavaScript. See the adaptors repo for how our adaptors are built, and kit for how the core runtime works.
Thanks for the clarification! That’s helpful.
I’ll take a closer look at the adaptors repo and the kit runtime to better understand the JavaScript approach.
Excited to explore where I can best contribute.
