Hi, at the next Tel Aviv Perl Mongers meeting I am going to give an introduction on how to get involved in an open source project.
Hopefully This presentation is going to be interesting to anyone who wants to get involved if if s/he does not want to write code. I am interested in seeing how web and graphic designers or people who can write nice text can get involved in the project. Both in English and in Hebrew. Part of this presentation is me learning what are the questions that people who are not developers need to get answered before they can contribute to a project. I'll use the example of the web site of "Perl in Israel" http://perl.org.il/ . I'll show some of the tools needed for this specific project such as using Subversion, HTML, CSS, and a template system but of course we will also see some Perl code for those who are interested in that. The main point I guess is the communication among people and the social aspect of a project. We'll see. Some more ideas about the presentation can be read here: http://szabgab.com/blog/2011/02/tel-aviv-perl-mongers-getting-started-in-open-source.html I'd be happy if you forwarded this invitation to your web designer friends as well Tel Aviv Perl Mongers: http://telaviv.pm.org/ regards Gabor -- Gabor Szabo http://szabgab.com/ Perl Ecosystem Group http://perl-ecosystem.org/ _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
