It +will start in October and run till end of February. + +The Free Software Camp will be a valuable opportunity for anyone who wishes to +become a contributor to free software projects but feels like they need +structured mentorship and a learning environment to get started. It will also be +an opportunity for existing free software contributors to get new contributors +to their project and facilitate their entry into the free software community. + +Application links for learners and mentors are open now on the [camp +website][camp-site] and will be so till October 15. + +[camp-site]: https://camp.fsf.org.in + +The camp promises to be a safe space for learners to acquaint themselves with +the philosophy of free software while also getting equipped to become free +software contributors. In the first phase of the camp, learners will go through +a series of assignments, interactions, movie screenings, and other activities +that introduces them to the social benefits of free software and exposes them to +the free software culture. They will get help in using free software on their +own devices. At the end of this phase, they will get a chance to explore various +free software projects and working with mentors they will be asked to create +working proposals for contributing to these projects. The camp will match each +learner to a mentor based on their proposal. In the second phase, each learner +starts their free software contribution as per their accepted proposal, closely +working with their mentor. There will be periodic review meetings to address the +needs of the learners and help them stay on track. + +Any free software contributor who can meet mentor expectations listed on the +camp site can apply to become a mentor. They can also add their ideas to the +list of ideas from which the learners can find starting points for writing their +proposals. The mentors will work closely with the camp organizers in evaluation +and selection of proposals, and with learners to facilitate the success of the +selected proposals. + +The camp encourages all kinds of contributions and contribution pathways - +programming, system administration, packaging, UI/UX, forensics, localization, +artworks, documentation, publicity, event organizing, etc. - as long as there is +alignment with the free software philosophy. The camp is conducted online using +free software communication tools like Big Blue Button, Matrix, etc. There is no +fee for participation. + +For more details and applying visit [https://camp.fsf.org.in][camp-site] diff --git a/static/index.html b/static/index.html index 525a93b..0eba5e9 100755 --- a/static/index.html +++ b/static/index.html @@ -113,6 +113,12 @@ </header> <ul class="news-items"> <li> + <p><span class="tag is-white">Sep 19, 2020</span> + <a href="/news/free-software-camp-2020-announcement/">Free + Software Camp 2020 Launches on Software Freedom Day</a> + </p> + </li> + <li> <p><span class="tag is-white">July 11, 2020</span> <a href="/news/proprietary-apps-in-schools/">Open letter to KITE: On the use of |
