You requested, we listened<\/h2>\n
In Might 2025, we held the first-ever Residence Assistant Group Day. It was a labor of affection of mine, and its success can’t be overstated. I printed a weblog<\/a> about this milestone a month after the day was held, detailing our learnings from coordinating a worldwide occasion. One of many clearest takeaways was that organizers wanted extra lead time to plan and promote their native occasions \u2013 and that\u2019s precisely why I\u2019m publishing this weblog as we speak \ud83d\ude0c<\/p>\n

Packed rooms finally yr\u2019s occasion!<\/em><\/p>\n
Similar as final time spherical, this yr\u2019s occasion is being held on a Saturday, and we labored very laborious<\/em> to decide on a date that may have the least impression on regional holidays. That mentioned, a number of issues have additionally modified since final yr, and we needed to get you on top of things.<\/p>\n

Come one, come all<\/h2>\n
It’s possible you’ll discover a pair issues are completely different this yr. The obvious one being that that is posted on the Open Residence Basis weblog and never simply the Residence Assistant weblog. Should you\u2019re questioning why, that\u2019s as a result of this yr we determined we would have liked to incorporate the communities from all<\/em> of the inspiration\u2019s main initiatives and never focus so closely on Residence Assistant. So when you\u2019re solely concerned about internet hosting an ESPHome or Music Assistant meetup for this yr\u2019s Group Day, now you can achieve this with out feeling prefer it doesn\u2019t belong on our calendar.<\/p>\n
A palette for the folks<\/h2>\n
The extra refined change this yr is that I\u2019ve requested our very gifted graphic designers to replace the occasion\u2019s coloration palette to extra broadly signify the Open Residence Basis. We determined to work with the identical coloration palette we use throughout our web sites for one of many basis\u2019s three core rules: sustainability. I selected this as a result of the group \u2728 sustains \u2728 us on the basis (sure, I believe I’m very humorous<\/em> \ud83e\udd2d).<\/p>\n
Hosts: Hit ship!<\/h2>\nSince Luma has honored your contact preferences, we are able to\u2019t depend on it to achieve out to everybody who hosted a meetup for final yr\u2019s Group Day. So if that\u2019s you, please contact us<\/a>! We\u2019ve created a Discord channel<\/a> so that you can submit in and we need to be sure to have a task particular to your, effectively, position in meetups!<\/p>\n
And as regards to supporting hosts, there\u2019s so much that\u2019s new this yr to make sure your day runs easily. We\u2019ll have a devoted web site that may replace dynamically when new meetups are added to the Luma calendar, with up to date reimbursement pointers, a merch request kind, and a Host Playbook for steering on internet hosting your native meetup \ud83d\udc4f<\/p>\n
