Hello new Developer Community members! 🚀 371 intrepid developers signed up in April. **If you’re new, feel free to reply to this topic and introduce yourself.

The [agenda is packed](https://events.atlassian.com/developer_day21/home) with some solid, Forge-focused content. I’ve had a chance to watch early cuts of the content and everything looks 💯 so far. All of the content will be available on-demand _after_ the event, but I’ll call out that the AMA with panelists is live–so be sure to tune in and bring your questions! And while you’re at it, check out some of the [other great events we have queued up for this month](https://community.developer.atlassian.com/t/may-developer-community-events/47827). # Community Highlights A lot of good stuff on Developer Community over the last month, but we want to take a second to highlight some of the content that deserves a bit of ✨ and 💞! ## Top Contributors The Developer Community is only as good as the folks posting new topics and answering questions.
