The Backdrop community meets regularly in several capacities. 

Anyone is welcome to join any meeting, and every meeting will have an open Q&A section at the end. Any attendee can raise a question on any topic, even when the question is not a perfect fit for the meeting in progress. People in the meeting will almost always try to help direct others to answers and resources whenever possible.

We hold Backdrop Office Hours every week on Wednesdays.

Connect via Zulip, and join us in a Zoom meeting.
