I've started looking at student proposals, I'll send some individual
replies but also some general tips for everybody.
Please remember that in Debian, we are keen to avoid proprietary
services that hide their source code when there is a free alternative
available.
Here are some example:
Instead of Hangouts, some mentors prefer to use Jitsi Meet or rtc.debian.org
Instead of Github, some projects use salsa.debian.org
Instead of Slack, Debian uses IRC
Instead of Trello, some people use Kanboard
Why not visit https://meet.jit.si and try to make a call with a friend,
another student or even one of the mentors? The Jisti Meet software is
all free software.
If your project proposal includes any specific tools, why not ask about
them on IRC?
I started a page about this here:
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Outreach/Tools
and mentors and students are welcome to contribute.
If you want to use Kanaboard, which instance will you use and how will
you get an account to log in? Please share your ideas about it.
