Description
This issue is for new folks to chime in and say hello and that they'd like to be involved offline (off GitHub) discussions. I'm not expecting the working group on this project to be so large that we can't all get to know each other.
Just comment here that you'd like to be added to the LoopBack.next contributors list and I'll create a group in the StrongLoop org with all of you - so we can do things like @strongloop/loopback-next for scheduling external meetings and such.
When we invite you to join our org and you don't receive an email notification for GitHub, then you can accept the invite here: https://github.com/strongloop
Check out issues labelled as good first issue for tasks suitable for new contributors.

Hi all! First of all, thanks for your interests and support in LoopBack 4!
We have been thinking about how to grow our contributor community together with the user community. There are several ways to contribute:
- Provide your feedback
We'd love to hear your feedback! Feel free to comment on the GitHub issues that interest you or open an issue in this repo - Contributing code
Please see below for details. For step-by-step instructions in submitting a PR, refer to https://loopback.io/doc/en/lb4/submitting_a_pr.html. - Contributing docs
From the feedback we got, there's a need to improve our docs. This PR outlines some of the enhancements we'd like to make: docs: add a draft outline to explore how to improve our documentation site #2925

Contribute what you need
We hope you are contributing to something that you need or will be using. We'd encourage you to take a backlog and see if any of our GitHub issues capture your requirement. If you're planning to implement a more complex feature, it would be helpful to submit a draft PR with minimal implementation to discuss your approach first. It would also be helpful to include your use case so that we can understand your requirements better. This is to make sure the intended implementation would align with our architecture and direction.
Contribute anything
