Getting Started

Welcome to the Zeek Project! We’re excited to have you here.

Here are a few ways to jump-start your participation:

The Zeek Project is driven by volunteers—people like you who help shape its direction, maintain its quality, and contribute to its growth. Whether you’re new to Zeek or an experienced user, we’re always looking for contributors with an interest in Zeek and some time to give.

If you haven’t already, take a moment to review our Code of Conduct to understand our community values and expectations.

Join our Monthly Community Calls

These calls are held once a month and are open to anyone interested in the Zeek project. We provide updates on the latest developments, opportunities to ask questions, and a chance to engage directly with other contributors and the leadership team. Whether you’re curious about specific features, have suggestions, or want to learn more about how to get involved, the community call is a great way to connect.

Communication

A lot of our communication and discussion happens on our Discourse server and in our Slack workspace, so one of the first things you should do is to join these. You’re also welcome to follow us on Mastodon or Twitter.

Learning

Our Youtube channel offers a sizable collection of educational material. Also make sure to take a look at our documentation.

Contributions 

Zeek Core: If you are interested in working on the Zeek code base, then you’ll want to look at the current list of issues in GitHub.  Also take a look at the Zeek Project wiki page.

Zeek Packages: If you are interested in writing a Zeek Package, you’ll want to take a look at: Documentation, Zeek Package Manager, Package Repository, and the #packages Slack channel.

Other Ways to Contribute: There are many ways to contribute to the Zeek project without writing code.  For instance, you can test development releases or contribute documentation, blog posts, or webinars. You can help with the Zeek Newsletter, or promote Zeek events.  To learn more about any of these opportunities, please join our Discourse and Slack spaces, introduce yourself, and let us know what you’re wanting to help with.  We’ll get you pointed in the right direction!
