I need help like a Mentor or Teacher. Hi Abhishek, thanks for reaching out to me! Sorry for the late response from me to get back to you. I assume this was from the FOSS Wave on-boarding call on Sept. 18! Glad to know you are enthusiastic about contributing to Fedora! I think there are plenty of ways you can contribute to the project, and I'd be happy to help offer some pointers to get you started. I've CC'd the fedora-join mailing list in this reply to help allow some others in the community to offer feedback too. I recommend subscribing to this mailing list while you get started so you can see other replies as well. https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/fedora-join@lists.fedoraproject… To get started with contributing to Fedora, like I mentioned in the call, you want to get involved with something that is personally interesting and engaging to you. You mentioned you are familiar with the basics of C and C++. What are some of your current technical skills, or areas you are a little familiar with and want to improve? Also, what kind of areas in Fedora interest you? If you're not familiar with all of the different areas of Fedora, take a look at this website to get a feel for the different areas you can contribute. http://whatcanidoforfedora.org/ Let us know what some of your interests are and we'd be happy to offer you further pointers. :) -- Cheers, Justin W.

Hiya, I just looked at the results of the whenisgood. As usual, we couldn't find a slot to suit everyone. This is the slot where most can make it: Monday 1600 - Europe/London (your timezones should be visible in fedocal): https://apps.fedoraproject.org/calendar/meeting/4684/ We'll start from next Monday, and meet every two weeks to start with, if that's OK? :) -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha

Outreachy - remote internships in Free and Open Source Software
by Amita 20 Sep '16

20 Sep '16

Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) is software that gives the user the freedom to use, share, study, and improve it. FOSS contributors believe that this is the best way to develop software because it benefits society, creates a fun collaborative community around a project, and allows anyone to make innovative changes that reach many people. In an effort to improve diversity in FOSS, a number of organizations are offering remote and mentored Outreachy internships through a program organized by Software Freedom Conservancy. These internships are open internationally to all women (cis and trans), trans men, and genderqueer people. Additionally, they are open in the U.S, to all Black/African American, Hispanic/Latin@, American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander people. The stipend for the program is $5,500 (USD). Applicants must be available for full-time, 40-hours a week, internships. The application deadline is October 17, 2016 and the internship dates are December 6, 2016 to March 6, 2017. College students from the Southern Hemisphere who will have a school summer break during most of this time are particularly encouraged to apply. Coding, user experience design, documentation, bug triage, community engagement, and other types of projects are available. To apply, you need to connect with a participating organization early, select a project you want to work on, make a few relevant contributions with the help of a mentor, and create a project plan. Learn more at http://outreachy.org Please consider applying for Outreachy, encourage someone else to apply, or help spread the word by forwarding this message to any interested university and community groups. To learn more, please join mentors, coordinators, and alums of Outreachy for a Twitter chat with a hashtag #OutreachyChat at 3pm UTC on September 21 (11am EST).

Fedora Join is on Pagure!
by Ankur Sinha 19 Sep '16

19 Sep '16

Hiya, I've set up a new organisation and repository for the SIG on pagure. Please open tickets here. I'll migrate the tickets from trac over when I can - pageureimporter seems to have a bug or two and won't work at the moment. (For tickets that need to be discussed at the meeting, please use the "meeting" tag.) https://pagure.io/group/fedora-join https://pagure.io/fedora-join/fedora-join If you'd like to be added to the group (on FAS and Pagure), please comment on this ticket: https://pagure.io/fedora-join/fedora-join/issue/3 -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha

New join.fedoraproject.org website - what do you think?
by Ankur Sinha 16 Sep '16

16 Sep '16

Hello, I've never liked the current join.fedoraproject.org[0] site - it redirects to an ugly wiki page which is pretty much a massive data dump. It is unreadable, unfriendly, and boring - all three virtues that would drive away potential contributors instead of attracting them. So, in the spirit of free and open source software, I've hacked up a replacement[1]. I would love your feedback on this. The idea is to polish this up and use this as join.fedoraproject.org. At the moment, it is only a prototype - even the name is going to change ;) There are a couple of issues open already, please comment on the relevant ones, or file new ones[2], or you can just reply to this e- mail with your comments :) Newbies - this is your chance to tell us what you think!

Dear Team, My name is Saikeo from Vientiane, Laos. I am open source enthusiastic. Currently I work whit GNOME which I teach GNOME to speak Lao language. I have some idea to attract new comer in Laos to join Fedora and make contribution into Fedora community in the future. I have plan to start weekend open source events which I will be held in every weekend at National University of Laos. My goal is teaching younger people to use open source, promote and I think I will use Fedora as OS to teach theme. That's all and thanks for your reading. Thank you. Best regards, Saikeo Network and System Engineer IT Dept., APB Laos [ccna_routerswitching_sm][jn_certified_associate_rgb]
