## Summary

Backstage is hosting ContribFest at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon in Amsterdam on March 26, 2026. A new ContribFest web app (contribfest.backstage.io) has been launched to help contributors get started, featuring a local setup checklist, curated issues with filters, a Contrib Champs hall of fame for merged PRs, and a Hall of Hosts. The session also introduces Dev Containers support (via VS Code or IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate with Docker) to streamline environment setup for participants.
