For years people have come to chat rooms hosted by OpenNTF to ask questions, share their knowledge and learn. OpenNTF is now extending that idea into a live, face-to-face meeting place every month to join and help each other: The OpenNTF Repair Café. It’s all about repairing things together.

In the public face-to-face chat room where the Repair Café is located, you’ll find other people and subject matter experts to help you make any repairs you need, be it an admin topic or anything in the vast area of software development with the HCL portfolio. The best part is, regardless of how long you have been using these tools or your area of focus, everyone has had to solve a problem, and there is always something to be learned from your experience, even if it is how the problem was solved rather than the solution itself.

Visitors bring their topics from home and work. Together with the others they start discussing ideas on how to tackle the issue in the Repair Café. It’s an ongoing learning process. If you have nothing to get fixed, you can enjoy a virtual cup of tea or coffee. Or you can lend a hand with someone else’s problems. You can also get inspired at the reading table – by leafing through our other Discord channels.



Repair Café meetups will be hosted on the new OpenNTF Discord server. Find out more and how to join here
