Getting Involved
Istio is an open source project with an active community that supports its use and on-going development. We’d love for you to join us and get involved! There are quite a few ways to get plugged in:
Head for the Istio discussion board1 to ask questions,
participate in discussions, and get help troubleshooting problems. You can use your GitHub ID (or Google, Twitter or Yahoo) to log in!
Stack Overflow2 is for practical questions and curated answers
on deploying, configuring, and using Istio.
If you’d like to have live interactions with members of our community, you can join us on
Istio’s Slack3 workspace.
Attend events on our Community calendar4.
Follow us on Twitter5 to get the latest news.

GitHub6 is where development takes place on Istio code.
If you want to get into the nuts and bolts of Istio, check out our growing collection
