What is Book Dash?
Book Dash is our bi-annual edit-a-thon for The Turing Way project and guides, a space for documentation, coffee chats, and collaboration of all sorts! Imagine a week-long Collaboration Cafe with our global community... and more! Bring your skills, ideas, and expertise: everyone has something to share!

Who can apply to Book Dash?
Everyone and all skills are welcome! However, we do recommend that you know a bit more about us and what we’re all about before applying. Join a Collaboration Cafe (we are running an open Q&A about Book Dash at the 15 March cafe!), get started with ongoing discussions on Github, and/or join us on slack!

What is a Book Dash local hub?
Book Dash hubs are in-person, remote, or hybrid events linked to the virtual week of Book Dash. We have previously hosted and supported hubs in London & Bristol (UK), Amsterdam (Netherlands), & Asia-Australia (regional), & Americas (regional).
Support for local hubs will be developed on a case-by-case basis, depending on the context and support required. By default, we offer support for connectivity, child care, and accessibility to participants. #nomoa
