Hello,

My name is Valery Sizikova and I would like to try to contribute to Mifos project. I haven't done this before but I hope that I can still be useful for the community and help with some minor tasks. I am learning JavaScript, HTML and CSS so I want to start working on the community app.

Looking forward to this collaboration!

Best regards,
Valery

Hi Valery,

Thanks for your intro to the community via the mailing lists. Are you currently in university or are you studying programming independently? 

I believe Vishwas already passed these links on to you but the best way to show your skills to the community is actively participating and making a pull request.

You can grab a task from Introductory Volunteer Tasks including these tasks related to AngularJS. I would specifically call out two that are very high priority:

Thanks!

Ed

Hello,

I also wanted to introduce myself. My name is Aileen Santos. I would like to apply for an internship at MIFOS through Outreachy. I recently completed a 12 week web development immersive course at General Assembly. I need to make a contribution in order to be considered. Vishwas sent me the links above. Once I make a contribution to one of those links, will I then be able to send my application for the internship?

Thank you,
Aileen

Hi Ed,

I have recently graduated from the university in St. Petersburg, Russia. So right now I am studying programming independently. 
I am already working on Breadcrumbs - https://mifosforge.jira.com/browse/MIFOSX-966 bug. Since all this is new to me it takes time to get into understanding things in the project.

All best,
Valery

Hi Valery and Aileen

Keep plugging away at your tasks and try to get your application in before the deadline even if you don't have the pull request complete. Please send any questions you have to the mailing lists and I"ll make sure a developers is available to address it.

Dear Ed,

I am still trying to figure out how to fix the issue with breadcrumbs, but I'm on my way. I will send my application now and then finish the task as soon as possible.
