Hello together, last year was the first time, that I and my zsystems team has participated at th virtual Open Source Day [0]. The Open Source Day is a hackathon day in the USA, where female mentees can contribute to open source projects. I was asked because they had looked for a Linux community and a female community Representative. I can say, that we had success and have received also some new openSUSE Members on this way. But we had provided only s390x tasks. We want to join again. Is anybody else interested to join our team as a Mentor? Then we can provide more tasks (outside of s390x). These tasks can be also packaging related or other (development) stuff. But most should be entry level. The next Open Source Day is Friday, September 16th, 2022. A small warning for all openSUSE Contributors from Europe: That will be a hack night for us! ;) We (from the zsystems team) are planning to join this event again. We would be happy about additional openSUSE Mentors, because the former assigned Mentors were more on an intern level as a qualification. In parallel, a female Release Manager by a hardware distributor should have been a Mentee and interacted as a Mentor. If you are interested to join us, answer to this email and apply on the Open Source Day page[1] as a Mentor.
