Webinar on contributing to GNU Octave

Hi there!

I hope you are doing well. My name is Abhishek, a junior from India and I
am an Open Source enthusiast. Open Source culture has grown a lot over the
past few years among students, especially due to programs like Google
Summer of Code, Outreachy, etc.

We’re a team of past Google Summer of Code Mentors, Org Admins, & Students
who believe that Open Source is for everyone and students should contribute
irrespective of whether they are selected for these programs or not.
Keeping that in mind, we’re starting a Spring of Code Program to encourage
open source contributions among students.

We have received over 1000+ registrations so far in just under a day of
opening up the forms to the students!
It’s a 4 week-long series of webinars aimed to introduce students to
projects, interact with maintainers, share with them the benefits of
contributing along with some best practices. We have a community of over
5000 students & more than 40,000 subscribers on YouTube (
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyzHIYrZBplqNpKF6R3Y7JUM-iBEGbj0t).

This is to request you to take part in the program on behalf of your
organisation to share with students how they can contribute to your
projects via a live stream QnA session.

The agenda is going to be somewhat like this:
* Introduction
* About the organisation & Projects
* Tech Stack Used in Projects
* Demo if applicable
* How can beginners get started with contributing
* Resources
* QnA

If you are interested, please book a time slot that works for you here:

We sincerely hope you consider this invitation in helping the Open Source
community grow. Looking forward to it!

Best,
Spring of Code Team
