Introduction
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.

Community meetings
Every two weeks we host a community meeting to showcase new features, review upcoming milestones, and engage in a Q&A. All are welcome!
The next 3 upcoming community meetings are pinned as issues in this repository and can be used to enter in suggestions for the meeting. If you would like to talk about suggestions first use the Discord Community Call Chat channel to discuss. The meeting agenda is finalized by a 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

How can I get involved?
One of the easiest ways to contribute is to participate in discussions at community engagements.
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.
