A few interesting opportunities

Posted on by

Firstly

Secondly

Youth Hacking For Freedom

If you like coding, tinkering, and having fun with software and if you are up for a challenge, we have something exciting for you: “Youth Hacking 4 Freedom” (YH4F), the FSFE’s hacking competition for young people from Europe!

https://yh4f.org/
This is being run by the Free Software Foundation Europe
https://fsfe.org/

Both of these are should be really good opportunities to learn and develop..

Invite link (to Qoto mastodon instance)

https://qoto.org/invite/eGdy4AHn

Note : The invite link to qoto should be fine generally for both opportunities.  If more are needed I can generate them, or people can simply join.

Hope this helps

Regards

Paul
