Repl.it

Posted on September 21, 2019 by Paul Sutton

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.

GSoC March 2019 Update

Posted on March 28, 2019 by Paul Sutton

Google Summer of Code March 2019 update

Update on this round of  Debian / Google summer of code applications.

Debian is welcoming applicants for Outreachy and GSoC 2019

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.
