My name is Cynthia, I participated in Outreachy on the winter of 2015. I'm reaching out to ask for your support for my online fundraiser: "Team Code Hoppers attend dotJS + dotCSS confrence in Paris." There are a few ways to help: 1. Donate - Everything helps. Even small donations have a big impact. 2. Post to Facebook - The more people who hear about us, the more likely we are to meet our target. 3. Share with your community - Call your friends, tell your co-workers, make an announcement at your organization's event to spread the word. Generosity has zero platform fees, so your donation goes farther to help us reach our goal. Thank you!

[Magazine] "Fedora looks back and ahead on Women in Computing" pending approval
by Justin W. Flory 24 Jan '16

24 Jan '16

Hello all, I just finished drafting the companion "pointer" article for the Fedora Magazine to last week's "Women in Computing and Fedora" article on the Community Blog. The article has been finished and just needs a featured image to be complete. A review for content, as always, is appreciated and welcome. You can find the article preview at the following link (remember you have to be signed into the Magazine to view the preview): https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=11670 I think pushing out this article in the upcoming week would be best. Thanks all! -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com

Fwd: [Fedora Women] Women in Computing and Fedora - CommBlog article
by Justin W. Flory 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

Hi all, Below is a recently published article on the Community Blog about women in computing and Fedora's history and current activities involving outreach. I think is something that should definitely be shared to all Fedora social media pages. I'm not sure on what the policy on Red Hat social media is, but I could also see this being something great to put out on one of the other Red Hat accounts too. Feel free to share this around too, I think this is a great summary of the work being done in Fedora to improve diversity and increase outreach. Thanks all! -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [Fedora Women] Women in Computing and Fedora - CommBlog article Date: Fri, 22 Jan 2016 19:21:10 +0530 From: Bhagyashree Uday <bhagyashree.iitg(a)gmail.com> To: women(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Hello all, jflory7 and I have recently published an article about Women in Computing and Fedora on Community Blog.

Re: [Outreachy] Fwd: Community Operations: Outreachy
by Remy DeCausemaker 29 Oct '15

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.
