💡TL;DR: OnMarch 19, we're hosting a specialCKAN Extensions Demo Day, giving developers the stage toshowcase their extensions, demo their features, and connect with users and contributors.
The strength of CKAN comes from its community of users, developers, and advocates. All across the community developers take advantage of CKAN extensibility to create plugins that extend its functionality, automate tasks, or allow integration with other tools. We want these extensions to be known and used!
That’s why on March 19, we’re shaking up our CKAN Monthly Live format to bring you a special CKAN Extensions Demo Day.
In a lightning talk format, presenters will be able to showcase their extensions and demo them to present a quick overview of their features.
