Every Friday we come together in the Mautic Community to test bug fixes, features and improvements to Mautic, and work on fixing any current issues that have been reported.

It’s a great way to give something back to Mautic, even if you only have an hour.

We’re here to help you get started however you want to contribute, just drop us a message on [Slack](https://mautic.org/slack) in #t-product or reach out to me directly.

## Mautic users

Pretty much all bug fixes, features and improvements can be tested fully in the browser thanks to our integration with [Gitpod](https://contribute.mautic.org/contributing-to-mautic/tester#the-easy-way-using-gitpod), making it very quick and easy to test.

Every single bug fix and feature in Mautic will have been tested by at least two people just like you - users of Mautic, who give a bit of their time back to help Mautic.

## Developers

If you are a developer, we have some bugs that we would like to look into (check the [issue queue](https://github.com/mautic/mautic/issues) on GitHub), and we also have some tasks to get started with for our Symfony 5 upgrade. Drop us a line in Slack to find out where you can help!

## How to get involved

If you have some time available on Friday, please join us in [Slack](https://mautic.org/slack)in [#t-product](https://mautic.slack.com/archives/CQMKV0RU1). We will help you to get started and walk through your first tests until you are confident.

Here is the list of things that we want to focus on today:
