Join us and take part in shaping the future of Kubernetes networking and security. ![Calico Logo](https://www.tigera.io/app/uploads/2026/01/Hero-Calico-badge-753x471-1.png) ## Our community Project Calico is first and foremost a community. Calico Open Source, which was born out of this project, is a cutting-edge networking and security solution for Kubernetes and other technologies. The invention and continuous development of this solution would not be possible without the help of Project Calico’s 200+ (and counting) contributors around the world, ranging from private citizens to big tech companies. We welcome improvements of all shapes and sizes, whether it’s as simple as fixing one character in the documentation, or as complicated as developing the next best feature for Calico. The creative sharing of ideas to shape the future of our community is always welcome and appreciated. ![Calico Logo](https://www.tigera.io/app/uploads/2026/01/Calico-logo-2026-badge.svg) ### Become a contributor Contributors are the heroes of our story [Become a Calico hero](https://github.com/projectcalico/calico/blob/master/AUTHORS.md) ![Webinar](https://www.tigera.io/app/uploads/2021/06/webinar.svg) ### Join a community meeting Once a month we gather to discuss all things Calico and open source [Join our next meeting](https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=tigera.io_uunmavdev5ndovf0hc4frtl0i0%40group.calendar.google.com) ![Certifications Icon](https://www.tigera.io/app/uploads/2021/06/certifications.svg) ### Get Calico certified Tigera offers free, self-paced courses and certifications [See what’s on offer](https://www.tigera.io/lp/calico-certification/) ![Events Icon](https://www.tigera.io/app/uploads/2021/06/events.svg) ### Events Tigera offers weekly webinars and workshops, both live and on demand [Sign up now](https://www.tigera.io/events/) ![Video Icon](https://www.tigera.io/app/uploads/2021/06/videos.svg) ### YouTube Check out our YouTube channel for short, informational videos and past webinars and workshops [Watch videos](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFpTnXDNcBoXI4gqCDmegFA) ![Learning Icon](https://www.tigera.io/app/uploads/2021/06/learning-center.svg) ### Blog Looking for tutorials or updates about Calico Open Source?
