Hi there, TPRF has been associated with the Outreachy program for sometime. I have followed the annual program very closely in recent times. I noticed it is helping young fresh bloods getting into open source from Indian subcontinent. I know for sure, there are plenty of scope to bring in young students into Perl fold. Unfortunately it is not tapped with focussed program yet. I really want to do something to bring Perl back to dicussion table among freshers. I know I have slowdown a bit in recent time because of health issues but I still have the same energy. For the first time, I have submitted my pet project The Weekly Challenge for the next Outreachy program. I am hoping to see some fresh talents coming forward and work with us. Looking forward to mentor and share my experience. I just wish the process was a bit simpler. May be, it is my first time, I find it harder to follow through. My advice to all newcomers stay focussed and work towards your goal taking one step at a time. Don't forget to enjoy the journey while learning. It would make a big difference, trust me. Look after your health and stay happy, specially your mental health. Mohammad Sajid Anwar |
