Line 1: __NOTOC__ === Overview === '''Rationale''': We have a theory: lots of users of free desktop software want to get involved in customizing or contributing to the project's development, but they haven't gotten to the first step of getting the program to compile. '''The event''': The first week of April, we want to see five projects email their mailing lists saying, "Experienced people will be on the IRC channel at a particular time, waiting to help you compile the app." The second week, we want to see new contributors feel included and invited. '''The ask''': Are you a member of the development team for a free software desktop app, and do you want more prospective contributors to join in? We need to find four more projects. We need you to [mailto:starling@openhatch.org email us] and pick a day and time that works for you to be in your project's IRC chat room and helping people in your community. '''The goal''': We want to see a dozen people, over the course of the week, go from confused wannabe contributor to someone who feels comfortable following discussion on their chosen projects' development lists. === Why you should do it for your project === It sends a ''strong signal'' to prospective developers that you ''truly want them to join you''. === How to apply on behalf of your project === Line 24 ⟶ 32: === The schedule === ~~Projects signed up right now:~~ * The GIMP Dates and times: * Fri, Apr 15, 0300 UTC: GIMP, with Akkana Peck (akk) * Monday, Apr 11 ** Blog post: http://shallowsky.com/blog/gimp/gimp-buildit.html * Tue, Apr 12 ** ~~Wed,~~Mailing ~~Apr~~list ~~13, 0200 UTC~~post: ~~The~~None ~~GIMP~~yet, ~~with Akkana~~I ~~Peck~~think (~~akk~~?) * Fri, Apr 15, 1300 UTC: Vidalia, with Tomás (chiiph) * Thu, Apr 14 ** Blog post: https://blog.torproject.org/blog/vidalia-get-involved * Fri, Apr 15 ** Mailing list post: None yet, I think (?) === More explanation === Line 50 ⟶ 55: === Blog posts === * http://shallowsky.com/blog/gimp/gimp-buildit.html * Danny said he could write up a blog post about this.
