Fedora : How to help
Like any project, help is always welcome, there is a similar too to that I posted with relation to Libreoffice, but for anyone looking to help with Fedora.
Fedora : How to help
Fedora creates an innovative, free, and open source platform for hardware, clouds, and containers that enables software developers and community members to build tailored solutions for their users.
Repl.it
Repl.it is a web based development environment. This gives you an instant IDE to develop your code and projects. It has recently been updated so that it is multiplayer by default so you can collaborate in real time with fellow developers / hackers, which should help increase productivity and or learning / teaching potential of this platform. Great work to the Development team.
Please see https://repl.it/ for more information and to sign up.

Google Summer of Code March 2019 update
Update on this round of Debian / Google summer of code applications.
On Thu 28 March 2019 with tags announce gsoc outreachy
Written by Laura Arjona Reina and Lesley Mitchell
Debian is dedicated to increasing the diversity of contributors to the project and improving the inclusivity of the project. We strongly believe working towards these goals provides benefits both for people from backgrounds that are currently under-represented in free software, and for the wider movement, by increasing the range of skills, experiences and viewpoints contributing to it.
