> Hi I am Abhishek(abhishekg5 on IRC). I am a computer science engineering student(2nd year). I came to know about this training while surfing the web. Yes it changed a lot of things. It helped learning a lot of new tools, new projects and actually contributing to open source. It's only because of dgplug I contributed to Fedora https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit Tips for future aspirants: When it starts you may think for a few days that this is very simple stuff(Especially if you already know a bit of Linux), you can learn it by yourself. But after a few days will come a phase where you'll learn a lot of cool stuff, advanced stuff. So be patient and MOST importantly, Be consistent. Everyday you learn something new. And mentors are awesome ;) _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.dgplug.org/listinfo.cgi/users-dgplug.org
