This is the next interesting and important part of the event, after the session, our volunteers with work with 8 students for whole day to make their first real contribution (patch) to Apache project.
These students will work on issues from Apache OFBiz or Apache Roller project.
Q. Why we choose Apache OFBiz and Roller project?
ALC Indore is having volunteers, who are committer and member of PMC in OFBiz and Roller project. Thus they will be able to provide their best mentorship on these project.
The ALC Indore team is prepared a list of low hanging issues from both the projects on which students can work.
Q. Why only 8 Students for workshop?
Since, it's our first event of this type, we are also learning.
Our plan is, one volunteer will spend whole day with one students, in this way the student will get the individual focused attention.
