Software Freedom Camp
Just spotted this on the Fediverse (Mastodon)
The world celebrates Software Freedom Day today with the aim of increasing awareness of Free Software and its virtues, and it is in the same spirit and excitement that we announce today the Software Freedom Camp Diversity Edition. Diversity edition is aiming to reach out to people subject to systemic bias and impacted by under-representation in the technical industry in India.
We're glad to announce that the registration for both learners and mentors are open for Software Freedom Camp Diversity Edition – https://camp.fsci.in/news/sfcamp-dived-2021-registration-announcement/
Apply as learner – camp.fsci.in/learners/ Apply as mentor – camp.fsci.in/mentors/

Free Code Camp Courses 17/9/2021
Just sharing these as they could be useful for Code Club.
Blockchain isn't just for investing – you can use these distributed database tools to automate tasks as well. That's where Smart Contracts come in. This Python course will show you how to use Solidity to code your own Smart Contracts right onto the Ethereum blockchain. 16 hour YouTube course
Linux is the most widely-used operating system in the world. It powers most web servers. And since Android was built on top of Linux, it runs on most mobile devices. If you're interested in a career in software development or cyber security, you will want to learn Linux and its command line tools. This course will teach you the basics of Linux servers, networking, and security. 5 hour YouTube course
Latest from FreeCodeCamp 3/9/2021
- This course will teach you the basics of Machine Learning. A young Data Scientist will walk you through some of the main ways engineers use key Machine Learning techniques. He will also show you how to tackle the classic problem of overfitting or underfitting your data. (10 hour YouTube course):
- These days you can code right in your browser on sites like freeCodeCamp.org. But if you have never coded on your own computer before, this course will help you install Python and a code editor so you can start programming offline. Jabrils, a self-taught game developer, will teach you basic Python data structures, algorithms, conditional logic, and more. (5 hour YouTube course):
- Also, a few months back freeCodeCamp published an entire book on Docker, which you can bookmark to use as a reference. Docker is definitely worth learning, and we ourselves use it on more than 60 of freeCodeCamp's servers. (4 hour read):
Write your own compiler
I am sharing this here as well as on my personal blog.
