Hello Mentors,

January, February, is quite late for a student to start contributing to organizations. And students who join late rarely understand how not to be competitive with other students and more community traits.

I understand this journey as a GSoC student, mentor, and admin with JBoss Community. I am running this month-long series entire October under my initiative named Code for Cause to solve this problem.  

In this month-long series, we will represent One org per Day as YouTube live event. Current mentors or past students are the best representatives of the project.

The sessions plan to guide them through the initial process and create better community involvement. Setting content personalized to your organization and projects will attract more students to contribute.

We have viewership university students who wish to associate with Open Source Organisations. We invite your organization to take part with us. You can revert to proceed with communication for the same.

Let's make students aware of open source.

Thanks and Regards,
Anuj Garg
Org Admin, JBoss Community
