Description

# Goal
Working on projects together is a great way to get to know the community, level up your dev skills, and make a meaningful contribution to open source projects. It's also a lot of fun.

We want to start hosting community "jam sessions" where devICTers work together on a project for a day. This will probably start out as a quarterly event and can be remote-only. Planning a group project, scheduling, etc. -- all the behind-the-scenes stuff that makes it work -- requires a dedicated project leader.

# Idea
We need a volunteer **Project Coordinator** to take this idea and build it into a recurring event. We can tap into the community for help selecting and coordinating the specific open source project each time, but we need a single individual to be the "glue" that makes it all happen.

# Expectations
- Solidify the vision of the event and all the details -- this is your chance to use your creativity to improve the local dev community
- Choose the project the group will work on each time -- either by polling the community or ruling with your own iron fist
- Ensure that the project has issues that can be solved by a variety of experience levels by the time of the event
- Promote the event in Slack and make sure people know about it
- Help out the day of the event as needed
- Iterate!
