They are standing next to the NumPy logo and the various tracks in NumPy. The tracks are laid in a diverging tree-like pattern. The first track, the "Contributor Track", eventually unlocks the second track, the "Review Track", which unlocks the "Merge Track", which unlocks the last track, the "Maintainer Track". These tracks are represented by dots and the unlocking as keys. Each track is personified with a person wearing a hat.  | Choose your adventure! Start as a contributor! Once you gain enough experience, you can become a reviewer! And perhaps with enough experience and mentorship, you can merge PRs. |

Around the campfire are two maintainers. One is excitedly waving their arms, the other watches on proud and serene. | If you feel that fire within you,  to keep NumPy going, you can join as a maintainer! It's not a quick or easy path. But it's one worth having. Of course, not everyone should or wants to be a maintainer! You may decide to stay a regular contributor. Or review PRs every now and then. |

An icon of Slack. | Your NumPy adventure is yours to choose! And the NumPy community wil be there with you every step of the way! Start your adventure by joining the NumPy Slack!
