Getting Involved with Spring 101

The infrastructure that supports Spring projects has seen a number of important changes in the last year – including a major redesign of the springsource.org website, migrations to Git for source control and Github for code hosting, using Gradle as a build system and much more. Come to this session to learn how to make the most of these changes. Whether your aim is learning about Spring, consuming Spring artifacts, tracking issues, building from source, or contributing code to the projects you're most interested in, you'll find that it's never been easier to interact with the Spring development teams and community at large.
