Hi Just an introduction I decided to join this list with the view of trying to help promote initiatives such as Outreachy and GSoC in Torbay, Devon, United Kingdom but also try and spread the word on FLOSS, and Debian / Linux generally.
I am currently running code club, but I am also involved in the South Devon Tech Jam which should hopefully provide a place for techies to meet up, share projects etc, so could be a good opportunity for advocacy at least, or somewhere for Debian (or other distro) hackers (I use that in the original sense) to meet up, perhaps have bug squishing parties in the far future I am also documentation lead for ToriOS which is a Debian derived OS, based on Debian 9, as Debian still supports older systems. I am happy to add articles to my blog (http://www.zleap.net), and re-tweet from @zleap2018. I feel there is a lot of potential in Torbay for people to get involved, build new skills within free software. By my own admission I am struggling to reach out as many of the groups working with people. So while we have groups working with, for example Young People and older People (50+) they are not technical, so while we are able to use terms such as 'Programming' freely many people don't understand this. Frustratingly I think that their client groups probably do understand this. Hope this helps and thank you for your time.
