An internal gathering for IT Community of Uzbekistan volunteers and leaders
Volunteers onlyAll-Hands is where the volunteer teams meet face to face: what has been built, what comes next, and who made it happen. Five meetings since 2023, the latest with more than 200 people in the hall and the regions watching live.
Each block is one meeting. Dates appear where they were announced publicly.
One day where every team hears the same thing at the same time, from project updates to the awards.
On 7 September the annual meeting brought together over 200 volunteers. The day was streamed on YouTube for everyone who could not travel, so the regional teams joined from across the country.
Travel was covered for more than ten of the most active volunteers from the regions, which is what turns a meeting in Tashkent into a meeting of the whole team.
For Akmaljon Murodov from Bukhara it was the first flight of his life, taken to get to All-Hands.
Thanks to the Tashkent State University of Economics for hosting the meeting.
The December meeting ran across two days, on 14 and 15 December. The teams went through the results of the year, set the goals for the next one, and gave awards to the people behind events, social media, video and photo, podcasts and more.
The community keeps working to bring more girls in and build a balanced, inclusive team.
People leave with new ideas and new contacts, and with the sense that together they are building something bigger than any single project.
