Welcome to the October Pact Open Source update! I’ve got some great things to share this month – As always, we have a focus on our community heroes, this time we have
@Paulo Gonçalves,
Holly Cummins,
@Eric Deandrea &
@Liran Tal

Plus a sneak peak of our upcoming Pact Plugin Framework launch which you can sign up to here
https://docs.pact.io/events/plugins-framework-launch
This the culmination of several years of work, and we believe it's going to be a game changer for organisations who love contract testing but can't apply it to various aspects of their organisation because a particular technology isn't supported.
Plugins will enable you to extend the capabilities of Pact, without having to make changes to the Pact framework itself. For example, you could create a plugin to handle the Avro or GraphQL content types, or create a websockets transport. You can even test out gRPC with one of our first plugins, we would love you to try it out.
Also whilst I have you, you can checkout the state of API quality 2021 here
https://smartbear.com/state-of-software-quality/api/ and participate in our 2022 survey, it will take around 15 mins and as a thank you, SmartBear will make a donation to a charity for each survey completed!

Whichever way you want to get involved, don't hesitate to reach out!
Thanks all <3
