Level 3 | ICC Capital Suite 17

Are you passionate about Helm and looking for ways to contribute? Join Helm maintainers at this ContribFest to help shape the future of the project and its ecosystem! This session focuses on three exciting initiatives:

**Exploring the Helm Ecosystem:** From Chart Testing to Chart Releaser, Chart Museum, docs, and traditional plugins, discover how these projects support end-user workflows and where your skills can fit in.

**Building a Triage Team:** Helm’s biggest bottleneck is issue and PR triage. Learn how to make an immediate impact here—contributors who excel and commit time can be nominated as Triage Maintainers.

**Diving into Helm 4:** Helm 4 is on the horizon, with a revamped architecture and an expanded plugin system. Explore how to contribute plugins, ideas, and code to shape this new era.

Whether new to Helm or experienced, this session is your chance to connect, learn, and make a difference. Let’s build Helm’s future together!
