Do you like KDE? Did you ever find yourself in a position of wanting to help, but you didn't know what to do, or who to talk to? Do you feel you could use help to get started?
|
|
|
|
Today, the KDE Community Forums would like to provide the opportunity to answer those questions by annoucing the continuation of the tutorial courses known as _Klassrooms_.
|
|
|
|
## What are Klassrooms?
|
|
|
|
Klassrooms are tutorial "lessons" held in a specific area of the forum. Held by one or more "mentors", they are focused in guiding people through helping KDE by tackling a particular problem. Examples of such problems include:
|
|
|
|
* Fixing simple bugs in an application
|
|
* Taking junior jobs in a specific project
|
|
* Helping with documentation
|
|
* Promotion work (for example, screencasts)
|
|
* Helping with translations
|
|
|
|
As you can see, Klassrooms are not limited to coding at all.
|
|
|
|
Usually the sessions last from one to two weeks, with a maximum of 5 "students" participating. The work is coordinated in a specific area of the forum.
|
|
|
|
## Public call for mentors
|
|
|
|
The key to hold Klassrooms is having mentors. Their role is to present the problem and guide students through the course. Compared to a live session, using the forum requires less time, and both the students and the mentor can set their most convenient schedule.
|
|
|
|
That is why _we need you! _You don't need to be a developer: non-coding courses are as welcome as coding ones. How do you become a mentor? [These guidelines](http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=71&t=84115) explain everything that is needed to apply.

If you feel like helping, this is the perfect opportunity. Let us know!
