Community Demos (2021)

---

Every few weeks we host a Community Demo to showcase new & interesting developments from the Foreman community. We encourage participation from any member of the community (although you do need a Google account), so if you’ve been working on something cool, please do come show it off. If you’d like to watch the community demo, they’re usually on a Thursday and we always list them in advance on our Community Events Calendar.

Here is a list of every demo that has taken place this year. Our demos are split into two sections: a user-focused section and a developer-focused section.

If you’ve any questions or feedback, we welcome any feedback in our community
