Community Contributions

We're extremely thankful for all our amazing community contributors. Just to highlight some of them: Markus Stahl just published a great blog post about CamundaLibrary - task automation for python and Clemens Zumpf and Dmitrii Pisarenko have built CSV to DMN Converter. The purpose of this program is to convert a CSV file to a DMN table and vice versa, which enables you to use e.g. Excel functions to enter information into the DMN table.

We also want to give a shoutout to our long-time community contributor Martin Schimack who has built the Camunda Platform Scenario Community Extension, which enables you to write robust test suites for process models. The extension license was originally created five years ago and to see the work Martin is still doing on new issues and improvements is really great.
