Re: [Outreachy] Fwd: Community Operations: Outreachy

Excellent :) I'm traveling on business today to NYC, but should be online in couple of hours. You should be working on attaining the "bootstrapped" badges series, and looking for interesting projects and tools on the CommOps wiki page. An important part of Outreachy, and Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) in general, is self selection and self direction. You are most likely to learn and succeed in areas that interest YOU, so it is important to identify what area of the project is most interesting for you personally. Once you have found an interesting tool or project, you can ask some of the other folks in channel about it, see if they have suggestions, and also check their issue trackers for tasks/bugs. If you have questions, it is best to ask them in channel publicly, because likely others are having similar issues, and we can all learn from eachother together :) You are also more likely to get answers from other mentors as well, instead of just blocking on me. I've cc'd the Fedora Outreachy list on this reply, which you should also continue doing in the future. In Fedora (and many other FOSS projects) we default to open and public communication unless there is a compelling reason not to. Hope this helps, --RemyD.

Vnisha, We're glad to hear you're interested in participating in our Outreachy cycle with Fedora :) As per the instructions on our Wiki Page ( https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Outreachy/2015), you should join our IRC channel #fedora-outreachy on irc.freenode.net, and introduce yourself there to the other mentors and community members. Then start looking at the Community Operations (CommOps) Team's wiki page ( https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/CommOps) to get an idea of the areas we work within at Fedora, and the types of tools that are available to us. Once we get a feel for your interests, we can point you towards specific mentors and parts of the project that suit you, that would be a good fit for contributions you are interested in exploring. You should also join #fedora-commops, which is where our team hangs out and coordinates our efforts. See you soon, --RemyD.

Karthiga, Please be sure to reply-all in the future, so that your message goes to our mailing list and the other Outreachy mentors can meet you and get to know you a bit more. You can find the hubs repository at the URL here: https://pagure.io/fedora-hubs/branch/develop You can then run the following from the command-line: git clone ssh://git@pagure.io/fedora-hubs.git git fetch git checkout develop The README file will walk you through the development server setup: https://pagure.io/fedora-hubs/blob/develop/f/README.rst There's also a tutorial in that README about 'Stubbing out a new widget' - follow those steps too. After you've done those tasks, we have a list of widgets that need to be created under the "issue" tab on the pagure.io page. When you're ready to take a try at that, let us know and we can help you figure out a good one to start out with. Good Luck, and we'll see you in IRC. --RemyD.

Re: Interest in Fedora Outreachy Winter 2015

Thanks for reaching out. It's awesome to hear that you are interested in Contributing to Fedora. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to start with a caveat that Outreachy Interns are expected to work full-time, and not be enrolled in study during their internship. That being said, exceptions can be made if the overlap is not significant. --- Snip from https://www.gnome.org/outreachy/ --- It's expected that the participants are able to have the internship work be a primary focus during the internship dates and spend 40 hours a week on it. Please do not apply for the program if you will be in school full-time or will have a full-time job during most of the time between December 7 and March 7. Instead, you are welcome to start contributing to any participating organization <https://wiki.gnome.org/Outreachy#Participating_Organizations> in your spare time, apply for May to August Outreachy or Google Summer of Code <https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/> internships, or apply for internships or jobs with our sponsors <https://wiki.gnome.org/Outreachy/Opportunities>, as works best for you. Many of the mentors participating in the program are happy to offer informal mentorship any time throughout the year, however you need to review the information for the organization you are interested in to see if it has mentors available. Learn more! <https://wiki.gnome.org/Outreachy> --- Snip --- Will you be enrolled in school during the winter cycle? --RemyD.

Ma'am/Sir, I am Ishani Chugh, a third year undergraduate student of Electronics and Communications Engineering at International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad. I am passionate about Open Source Development. I have some experience working with git, I aspire to contribute to Fedora as Open source Developer under OPW and I am interested in working on the project 'Fedora Infrastructure Web Application Development: Fedora Hubs', since I feel I have the enthusiasm and skills required. I will appreciate any assistance with regards to beginner contribution on this project. Sincerely, Ishani

Learn more! <https://wiki.gnome.org/Outreachy> --- Snip --- Assuming that won't be an issue... The project you would most likely be interested in then, is Fedora Hubs: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Outreachy/2015#Development_Projects Take a look at the description, and familiarize yourself with the requirements. Once you've done that, you should join the Outreachy Mailing list, to stay up to date on the program: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/women-outreach There are a number of IRC channels where our mentors for Fedora Hubs can be found, but I would recommend joining #fedora-outreachy first, and introducing yourself to the folks there. There is a specific channel for the project at #fedora-hubs, if you wanna start lurking there. See you soon, --RemyD. P.S. - If you are available, you are welcome to join us in #fedora-meeting-2 tomorrow at Noon ET for a meeting of our Community Operations (CommOps) team, where we'll be meeting/introducing other Outreachy applicants and mentors.
