Introducing djehuty Community Hour

We’re excit­ed to announce some­thing new: dje­huty Com­mu­ni­ty Hour, a month­ly open meet­ing for every­one con­nect­ed to dje­huty.

What is dje­huty?

dje­huty is the open-source soft­ware plat­form behind 4TU.ResearchData’s research data repos­i­to­ry. It is built and main­tained by 4TU.ResearchData, and devel­oped as an open-source project. The source code, issue track­er, and com­mu­ni­ty resources are pub­licly avail­able.

Build­ing a Com­mu­ni­ty Around dje­huty

As dje­huty con­tin­ues to evolve, we want to cre­ate more oppor­tu­ni­ties for users, con­trib­u­tors, and the devel­op­ment team to con­nect. Com­mu­ni­ty Hour is a new month­ly meet­ing where any­one inter­est­ed in dje­huty can hear project updates, dis­cuss ongo­ing work, ask ques­tions, and share ideas. To com­ple­ment these con­ver­sa­tions, we’ve also launched a com­mu­ni­ty web­site that serves as a cen­tral place for meet­ing infor­ma­tion, resources, and con­tri­bu­tion guid­ance.

Ways to con­tribute

We wel­come a range of con­tri­bu­tions, includ­ing code, doc­u­men­ta­tion, bug reports, fea­ture sug­ges­tions, test­ing, and feed­back. All of these con­tri­bu­tions help improve dje­huty and inform future devel­op­ment.

If you’re look­ing for a place to start, we main­tain a good-first-issue label in the issue track­er to high­light tasks that are suit­able for new con­trib­u­tors.

Join Us

Our inau­gur­al Com­mu­ni­ty Hour is 28 Octo­ber 2026, 15:00 CET, online. Details, meet­ing links, and sub­scrip­tion infor­ma­tion are avail­able on the Com­mu­ni­ty Hour page.

Join us to hear project updates, dis­cuss ongo­ing work, ask ques­tions, or share ideas. Com­mu­ni­ty mem­bers are wel­come to sug­gest dis­cus­sion top­ics ahead of each meet­ing, and you do not need to be a devel­op­er to par­tic­i­pate.

Whether you’re a long-time user of 4TU.ResearchData, a devel­op­er curi­ous about the plat­form, or some­one who’s nev­er heard of dje­huty until this post, you’re to join us.
