I have previously worked on Free - RTC project-- Lumicall and would be able to help if you encounter any issues. Y ou can also try to install Debian ( in case you dont use Debian ) maybe dual boot or setting up a virtual box. This would help you be in a strong position to complete the test activites which you'll be given later for Outreachy under Debian :) [1] https://wiki.debian.org/Outreachy/Round15/Projects?action= show&redirect=Outreachy%2FRound15%2Fprojects -Urvika > Regards, > Sushma K > > > On Mon, Aug 28, 2017 at 3:45 PM, Daniel Pocock <[email protected]> wrote: > >> >> >> Hi all, >> >> Has Debian applied to participate in Outreachy again? >> >> At the end of September/early October I'll be visiting Albania and >> Kosovo again.
