Data Umbrella and PyMC are organizing an open source sprint:

- it is online
- it is free
- it is beginner-friendly

**Sprint website:** [https://pymc-data-umbrella.xyz](https://pymc-data-umbrella.xyz)  
**Date:** March 30, 2023  
**Time:** 15-18:00 UTC (10am-1pm ET)

This event is an online hands-on working session to contribute to PyMC, a Python probabilistic programming language. Knowledge of PyMC is not required, and it is beginner-friendly. There is a range of possible contributions, from adding timestamps to videos, to documentation, to running Jupyter notebooks in the latest version of PyMC, to more advanced code contributions.
