Hi all,
Our Computer Science Club is now a member of Mozilla's OSSN https://ossn.club/ (Open Source Student Network). OSSN is a network of university students and clubs who believe that open source is the engine that powers innovation. As a part of the network, we get a lot of benefits:
* All CSC members can connect with other club members of participating clubs https://ossn.club/clubs using the OSSN slack * There is a jobs and internships board * The fixme app https://fixme.ossn.club lets people find actively maintained open source projects
To get the most of it, sign up on https://ossn.club and join our club https://ossn.club/clubs/15.
We are also organizing Git September https://events.mozilla.org/ossngitseptember, as it will be highly beneficial for first year students and beginners for contributing to open source projects, and participating in Hacktoberfest. Benefits of participating in Git September:
* Understand Git (almost certainly required in a software development job) * Make your first pull request * Receive cool stickers * Prepare for Hacktoberfest
We are planning the first of the two git workshops on Saturday, September 21, and the second one on Sunday, September 22. We will be covering Git basics such as add, commit, diff, GitHub basics, etc for the first one. The second workshop will cover advanced topics like branching, merging, merge conflicts, feature branch workflow, etc.
Event details and TLDR:
1. CSC is a part of Mozilla OSSN. You can sign up https://ossn.club 2. Git 101: September 21, 12pm - 2:30pm, QNC 1502 3. Git Good: September 22, 12pm - 2:30pm, QNC 1502
