DESCRIPTION:Produced by the Scala Center at EPFL\, sponsored by Bestmile\n
 \nThe Scala Center and LAMP Dotty team at EPFL invite you to discover the 
 fun of contributing to the FLOSS* projects in Scala: choose an issue\, get
  your PR merged by the end of the day\, get the “Contributors” t-shirt
  AND a chance to win the very first ticket to the ScalaDays 2019! In addit
 ion\, there will be a couple of mini talks and presentations\, notably fro
 m Typelevel\, Oracle Labs and more\; check out the full program and more a
 bout the sprees here (https://github.com/scalacenter/sprees/blob/master/RE
 ADME.md).\n\nSign-up on the Meetup page is required and free but the numbe
 r of participants is limited to 30\, due to the distribution 1 library aut
 hor : 5 contributors. In our experience\, that ratio is required to mainta
 in the high quality of learning/teaching experience. If more project autho
 rs sign up\, we will include more participants so please do sign up!\n\nIs
  this event for me? Sure it is! Scala sprees are designed for Scala enthus
 iasts that are not sure where to start as well as for experienced contribu
 tors that are eager to learn more\, meetlibrary authors in person and perf
 ect their craft. We recommend Seth Tisue’s talk “You Are A Scala Contr
 ibutor” (https://youtu.be/DTUpSTrnI-0) to better understand if you are o
 r how you might become a Scala contributor. In conclusion\, we welcome eve
 ry Scala enthusiast who would like to participate and discover\, there is 
 no entry level knowledge required.\nRead what others say about the Scala s

 ick-start the celebratory spirit within the Swiss Scala community. The upc
 oming year marks the 15th anniversary of the Scala language as well as the
  10th anniversary of the Scala Days conference. If that’s not enough\, E
 PFL is celebrating the 50th anniversary of becoming the Federal institutio
 n! For all these reasons\, the Scala Center is organising Scala Days at EP
 FL\, June 11-13  2019\, and a couple of other events building up to it\, 
 opening with the Scala spree on the 15th of December 2018.\n\nIf you have 
 an idea\; you’d like to help us in any way (advice\, hosting in your tow
 n\, suggesting interesting topics) or you would like us to help your commu
 nity project please let us know: scala.center@epfl.ch cc darja.jovanovic@e
