Hi everyone, My name is Rosellyne Thompson and I am 23 years old. I've been using Debian since 2000 (Potato!) and I've decided to delurk and become more involved with the Debian project, primarily to give something back and become part of the community, but also to gain experience that complements my studies (I'm currently studying part-time for a degree in Computing with a minor in Psychology with the OU) and that will improve my employment prospects (I'd like to work as Perl developer, but feel at present that I lack confidence/experience to apply for jobs).
I tried to e-mail Helen Faulkner as suggested on the Debian women website about the mentoring programme but her e-mail address bounced, so I wondered if I posted the areas I'd be interested in volunteering in here someone might be able to point me in the right direction? Areas I would be interested in are: Perl, beginner packaging, writing bug reports, writing documentation, working on Debian websites/lists, solving bugs and submitting patches, organising UK events (I am based in Ilford, Essex, so can attend events in Central London), press work and general interaction with the Debian project. Many thanks and kind regards, -- Rosellyne Thompson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-women-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
