Launching the KINTO Technologies Advent Calendar 2025

Read the summary

This year’s KINTO Technologies Advent Calendar launched with 50 free articles planned, marking the fifth year of the event. Half of those articles—25—will be written by first-time contributors. This shows a growing interest across teams, with many members stepping up and saying “why not give it a try.” The team changed how they recruited contributors this year. Instead of reaching out individually to each division, they used a Slack channel to call for submissions. This open, community-driven approach helped gather more diverse voices and participation. Every day during the writing period, a 30-minute Slack huddle is hosted for casual consultations. This allowed contributors to quickly ask questions, especially first-time writers, without feeling judged. Questions like “Is it okay to ask a basic question?” were common and welcomed. The result? A more inclusive, accessible process where new contributors feel confident and supported. The huddle helped lower barriers to participation, making the experience feel real and human. Overall, the Advent Calendar is now a shared, community-led effort. With 50 articles planned and daily updates on X, it’s a strong signal of internal engagement and developer culture. One month remains—everyone is excited to see what’s next.

This article is the Day 1 entry for the KINTO Technologies Advent Calendar 2025🎅🎄
Hello, I'm Yukachi (@ukcpo) from the Developer Relations Group!

KINTO Technologies is doing an Advent Calendar again this year☆*
This is the fifth year for our Advent Calendar!

This year, we have two series on free topics with a total of 50 articles planned!
In the past, the Developer Relations Group would individually reach out to each division to gather contributions for the Advent Calendar, but this time, most of the participants were recruited through a Slack channel call for submissions＼(^^)／

By the way, half of the 50 total articles will be written by first-time contributors!

It's wonderful to see so many members taking on the challenge, thinking "why not give it a try"!
As a side note, since last year's Advent Calendar, the Developer Relations Group has been hosting a casual 30-minute consultation session every day via Slack huddle during the writing period.

Being able to pop into the huddle and quickly ask questions when you're a bit stuck lowers the barrier to seeking help, so from our perspective as the hosts, it feels like a great initiative. What do you think!?

We're happy to receive questions like "This is my first time writing, so is it okay to ask a basic question...?"


Our manager who's great at creating an approachable atmosphere
With all that said, we hope you will enjoy our company's "real" through the Advent Calendar!

Updates will be posted daily on our official X account (@KINTOTech_Dev).

If any articles catch your interest, please give them a read♩
One more month left this year—let's do our best＼(^^)／
