Hello Everyone!, I am new in this field, but I am very interested in building a contribution trajectory as a non code contributor as my coding is very weak :-). I have extensive experience in communities/EU organisations coordinating and looking for fund-raising. Nevertheless I didn’t get the opportunity to participate in this type of projects and would love to have the opportunity to help and learn!
