The GNOME Project will be doing a code sprint/hackathon/hackfest focused on GNOME Builder. Participants can participate in working on GNOME's new IDE. We are actively looking for new contributors. You can find information on GNOME Builder at:

Based on a successful crowd fundraiser, GNOME Builder is moving quickly with some great features suited for IoT, desktops, and various other things. Great time to discuss features, introduction to the source code, and be able to hack on various pieces of GNOME Builder

Would you like to learn about how to build websites, but don’t know where to start? We’re hosting a free workshop to teach 30 women how to build websites from scratch.
We believe that IT industry will greatly benefit from bringing more women into technology. We want to give you an opportunity to learn how to program and become one of us - female programmers!
Workshops are free of charge and women from all backgrounds are encouraged to apply. You'll work through a tutorial in small groups of three with a coach, so you'll be able to learn at your own pace.
We are trans-inclusive and encourage applications from all women.
