The Distributed Application Runtime, Dapr, is a portable, serverless, event-driven runtime that makes it easy for developers to build resilient, stateless and stateful microservices that run on the cloud and edge and embraces the diversity of languages and developer frameworks.
Dapr codifies the best practices for building microservice applications into open, independent, building blocks that enable you to build portable applications with the language and framework of your choice. Each building block is independent and you can use one, some, or all of them in your application.
Visit dapr.io for information about Dapr.
Dapr is an open source project with an active development community.
We would greatly appreciate your contributions and suggestions! One of the easiest ways to contribute is to participate in Discord discussions, chat on Discord IM or join the bi-monthly community calls.
Reach out with any questions you may have and we'll make sure to answer them as soon as possible and as a community member feel free to jump in and answer questions.

Every two weeks we host a community meeting to showcase new features, review upcoming milestones, and engage in a Q&A. For community calls, anyone from the Dapr community can participate, present a topic, or host. All are welcome!
Issues in the community repo are used to suggest topics for a Dapr community. The next three upcoming community meetings are pinned as issues in this repository and can be used to enter in suggestions for the meeting. To speak about a Dapr related topic on a community call just enter your topic to the agenda issue marked for the date you would like to present on. Alternatively, you're also welcomed to use the the Discord Community Call Chat channel to talk about future agenda topics. The meeting agenda for each call is finalized by the community call host.
Community members (members of the Dapr GitHub org) can nominate themselves via an issue on the dapr/community repository to be a community call host. Members become approved community call hosts when two or more existing community hosts approve their request, similar to how members and approvers get accepted today.
You can always catch up offline by watching the recordings on the Dapr YouTube channel.

The Dapr blog has regular posts on releases, technical articles and upcoming events. If you would like to author a post, reach out to us with a suggestion.
There are a several different roles that are available in the community.
There are various contributor roles in the Dapr community that you are strongly encouraged to be part of. Read Community membership for more information.
At the start of a milestone a release team is chosen. The release team has the responsibility of enforcing processes to ensure the release is successfully delivered. Read about the Release process for more information.
The Dapr project has a single governance body called the Steering and Technical Committee (STC). The STC is responsible for the health of the Dapr community and for overall technical oversight. Read Steering and Technical Committee (STC)for more information.
Administrators have access to credentials equivalent to members of the steering and technical commitee (STC) and are responsible to perform pre-approved routine maintenance duties and ad-hoc tasks delegated by the STC without making isolated decisions. Read Administrator Role for more information.
Community managers are responsible for managing many aspects of the Dapr community. The role is to engage and promote the Dapr community and have someone that the community can reach out to for guidance. Read Community Manager for more information.
One of the easiest ways to contribute is to participate in discussions at community engagements or write a blog entry.
If you're looking for something to work on, read the contribution guidelines and then you start by looking for GitHub issues, marked with "Good First Issue" or the "Help Wanted" labels:
And, we can always use more testing, have more and improved docs, or just write a blog post on what you have discovered whilst using Dapr.
If you're a developer, read the development guide for help on how to get started.
Finally consider achieving one of the many roles that are in the Dapr project.
