Help Shape Hiero’s Python SDK Office Hours

Got 2 minutes?

We’re excited to announce a new office hour initiative to help every newcomer - and seasoned Hiero contributor - hit the ground running in contributing to the Hiero Python SDK.

📣 What’s the Hiero Python SDK?

The Hiero Python SDK is one of Hiero’s newest community projects under the Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust (LFDT) umbrella. It lets Python devs hook into Hiero code services. The greater our development, the more developers will be able to build decentralized applications on networks such as Hedera using Python.

The SDK is relatively new (created in November 2024) and is under active development. We encourage participation from the community in this dynamic environment, in both technical and non-technical areas.

📝 I’m Interested. How Can I Contribute?

Please take a moment to answer the google survey to help make these office hour sessions as valuable and inclusive as possible.

Note: We already run a public, fortnightly SDK community call (roadmap, blockers, next steps). The proposed office hours are an addition to provide a welcome space available to all - both newcomers and existing contributors - for hands-on help.

📅 Why We’re Doing These Office Hours

• Helping Newcomers Getting started with a new codebase in an emerging technology can feel overwhelming. Our goal is to chip away at those first-time barriers so you can focus on building and contributing with confidence.

• Engage Contributors Whether you’ve merged contributions yourself or you’re here to help others, your insights will guide us on the topics and formats that matter most.

• Build Community Fairly Regular, structured meet-ups that are free for all to attend give us a chance to connect, learn together, and celebrate every small win in the repo.
