Introduction and Debian Women Mentoring Programme
Hi everyone,
My name is Rosellyne Thompson and I am 23 years old. I've been using
Debian since 2000 (Potato!) and I've decided to delurk and become more
involved with the Debian project, primarily to give something back and
become part of the community, but also to gain experience that
complements my studies (I'm currently studying part-time for a degree
in Computing with a minor in Psychology with the OU) and that will
improve my employment
prospects (I'd like to work as Perl developer, but feel at present
that I lack confidence/experience to apply for jobs).
I tried to e-mail Helen Faulkner as suggested on the Debian women
website about the mentoring programme but her e-mail address bounced,
so I wondered if I posted the areas I'd be interested in volunteering
in here someone might be able to point me in the right direction?
Areas I would be interested in are: Perl, beginner packaging, writing
bug reports, writing documentation, working on Debian websites/lists,
solving bugs and submitting patches, organising UK events (I am based
in Ilford, Essex, so can attend events in Central London), press work
and general interaction with the Debian project.
Many thanks and kind regards,
