[dgplug-users] I Know What You Are Going To Do This Summer 2018

[Saptak Sengupta]

Hello all,

Do you want to see your name next time you install
GNU/Linux in your friend's computer? Or run some open
source software or web application with your name as
an author?

If yes, then continue reading.

We are glad to announce the 11th edition of "I Know What
You Are Going to Do This Summer" [1], a free (as in freedom),
online (IRC-based) [2] training programme with sessions for
new comers to get started with Free/ Libre/ Open Source Software
at #dgplug on irc.freenode.net [3].

If you are a mentor, or trainer, or prospective enthusiast who would
like to participate in this year's sessions please go through last
year's IRC logs:

http://www.dgplug.org/irclogs/

This year we will be spending more time on learning about
ethics in programming and in life and the consequences of the
code we write.

The session timings are mostly varying, usually after 1900 IST every day.

To participate, you need a good internet connection and any latest
Linux Distribution installed (Fedora 28 preferably). And an
attitude to learn. Anyone can participate.

We do get participants from all across the world, so this is real
chance for you to make friends in the community.

What we teach?
===============

Through this training we build contributors. Upon completing this
training you will be able to successfully contribute to upstream
projects, you will know the tools used by different upstream
projects and yes, we will teach you how to solve real life problem
using Python programming language.


Guest sessions
=============

Through out the training we organize special sessions from well known
upstream contributors. They share their own stories, and take in-depth
sessions on various subjects.

To know more
