[http://campus.openhatch.org/ Open Source Comes to Campus] is a series of workshop run on college campuses to help teach students the community knowledge and technical skills to participate in globally distributed software projects. These events are free of cost, supported by donations to OpenHatch. In 2013, we are emphasizing organizing these with women in computer science groups. |

The [http://bostonpythonworkshop.com Boston Python Workshop] is a free of cost introduction to computer programming workshop for women and their friends who have no or minimal programming experience. It teaches the Python programming language. The workshop runs every 2 months with the [http://bostonpython.com Boston Python user group], and it has been a hugely successful and transformative event. Volunteers also help other people run outreach events in their cities, and recently received a [http://mail.python.org/pipermail/outreach-and-education/2011-October/000099.html grant] (given to those independent organizers, not OpenHatch itself) from the Python Software Foundation to bring the workshop to 3 new cities in the US.

In 2013, OpenHatch received a grant to help pay for staff time to work with these independent groups and other programming meetup groups from the non-profit Python Software Foundation. |

If you want to volunteer your technical or other skills for an open source, visit the [http://openhatch.org/search/ project rolodex and indexed bugs] that help match open source projects and volunteers. You can browse projects and bugs based on your interests and desired programming languages. In particular, we have "bitesized" bugs that have been identified as good, small tasks for new contributors. |
