PUB Crawl for March 5, 2018

Out with February, in with March...and soon, but not soon enough, spring up here in the northern hemisphere! March also holds a historic first for our community: the first ever NPSP Day in Africa. I'll be packing up what friends share about the Salesforce.org Open Source Sprint happening today and tomorrow, and bringing the knowledge to the Cape Town community on March 22.

While the community is humming, take a moment to catch up on what's has been discussed around the HUB in this week's action packed PUB Crawl. Grab yourself a sweet treat and dive deep into this week’s content.

Don't forget, you can have the goodness of the PUB Crawl delivered into your inbox each Monday morning by subscribing today!
