👋 Hi there! 

We know you missed these digests!

 

The dbt Community Newsletters are coming back with a 💥. For the month of September, the dbt Community Newsletter is going to go out weekly, on Wednesdays and with a slightly updated format. All your old favorite digests are below, alongside a few new fun highlights:

• 🏆 Shoutouts to humans of the dbt Community who made exceptional contributions in the past week;
• 📦 Package ecosystem updates; 
• 🏢 Job postings that are no more than a week old! 

We want to hear from you: reply to this e-mail or come chat in #community-strategy if you have feedback on the new format or the new frequency. 

 

And now without further ado, this week's newsletter 📣

 

☮️💜 Anna

⚡ Highlights and important news 

• The #jobs channel has templates! You can now use a workflow to help make sure you provide all the information someone is looking for. Highlights: location information, salary bands, DE&I statement. Templates are optional, but we will increasingly highlight jobs in this newsletter that use them ;) 
• Welcome to the Community Team, Jason!  Say hello and chat with him about pain points as he takes on improving dbt Developer Experience 💅
• Hubcap got a major rewrite thanks to Mila's hard work! No more missing packages on the Hub, or dbt version incompatibilities. 🚨Hubcap and Hub PRs may be slower to merge this week as we test the changes.
