List of communities, development links, events, (un)conferences, forums/ meetup groups, NEWS, social networks, and other useful learning resources, including other random resources that does not have its own topic page goes here under various sub-section titles. Topical learning resources, for example, code that is not a package, interesting code snippets, etc...will be listed here but specific resources, say, a Julia for Statistics tutorial would be listed on the Statistics page.

The Julia community is distributed over various communication mediums, including some SIGs (Special Interest Groups) on Github. Join:
- IRC :: #julia channel on irc.freenode.net for live chats.
- The discourse forum for all technical discussions. (NotaBene: The older google groups mailing lists has been abandoned in favor of this FOSS alternative).
- The official list of resources to learn Julia.
- The official Julia conference : JuliaCon, an annual technical conference where community members from around the world come together to learn and share information about the latest trends and technologies in Julia development. The code running the website is at juliacon.github.io.
To contribute to the Julia language, read the how-to contribute page, the sections on continuous integration and git hooks and the links to (open) BUGS on Github:
- Documentation bugs.
- The up for grabs label on Github. PS: Not all the bugs tagged thus are meant for newbies to programming.
- Bug #9493 for more comprehensive test coverage. Check out the coveralls page for a quickview of ToDo tests.
For development-related news, see the following links :
