While this was true in the past, in the past couple of months we have been
trying to focus more on new comers.
As part of this effort, we are now actively looking for mentors who are
active open source contributors and can guide new contributors.
We are open to feedback on how we can make new comers more welcome and
on-board them better.

These are all important topics. I believe we try to encourage them as well,
but we are always be happy to learn how we can improve and do better.

I was wondering about that too but I think it would have been even creepier
if I wrote that.

That was not clear to me from the description.
In any case that reminds me, if I were the one organizing it, I'd probably
just remove those nasty comments from the announcement page or I'd use them
as an opportunity to point out that man are also welcome. Maybe not those
commenters.

Last time I checked, I'm not a woman (:

The events are targeted for women, but are not "women only".

Sounds like great values to work for / with. Let's schedule you a talk for

Hi Tomer and all,

I am mostly aware of the HackNights. The one I attended was not geared
towards new contributors. I was not aware of other types of meetings.

I also see the "Women do Open Source" event Lior runs. I don't know how
could I cooperate with that given that I am not a woman.
Any suggestions?
I can and will include the link to that event in my announcement to the
Code-Mavens in case some of the members prefer a women only event.

The emphasis in the workshops I organize is cooperation, mutual help, and
empathy towards the other participants. We work in pairs, triples,
sometimes even more. Our events are gender neutral.

regards
Gabor

Hi Gabor,

Thank you for the invitation! Helping more people get started with Open
Source is always great.

I'm not sure if you are aware, but we (Hamakor) have been running similar
meetups over the past couple of years - https://www.meetup.com/Open-
Source-and-Free-Software-in-Israel/.
We would be happy to cooperate with you in the future and work together to
increase involvement in Open Source.

Your First Open Source contribution - Workshop

2018-01-14 חוט Gabor Szabo 
hi there,

so yes, I assume most of you on this list are regular Open Source
contributors, but I also assume you have a lot of co-workers who are not.
This is an opportunity to get them involved.

On  January 24th I am running a workshop in which I am helping people get
through their first Open Source contribution. This is a language
independent event. We don't even require people to know how to program.
There are plenty of things people can contribute even if they don't know
how to write code.

RSVP here: https://www.meetup.com/Code-Mavens/events/246683264/

לי חסר אייקון במגש המערכת שמאפשר לבחור איזה צילום מסך אני רוצה.
כמו כן ל- shutter יש עורך תמונות מובנה ודי קליל לשימוש. משהו כזה (בפיתוח
חיצוני או פנימי) לא יזיק.

מה חסר?

אם אף אחד לא מפתח את shutter לא נראה לי שכדאי להשקיע זמן בלתקן אותו.
הוא ישבר בגרסה הבאה. כדאי במקום להוסיף מה שאפשר לתוכנה שמישהו מתחזק.
