hello folks! I am happy to share that Ceph will be participating in Grace Hopper's *#OpenSourceDay2021* as a featured project. Open Source Day[0] is an all-day hackathon aimed at helping participants to learn and become open source contributors. Trained mentors provide guidance to make contributions to listed projects, in hope of encouraging minority and women's participation in open source. In this virtual hackathon on July 15th, we'll be helping out any new contributors raising PR's for some good first issues. For this, we are looking for triaging good first issues and would welcome if you have any in this etherpad: https://pad.ceph.com/p/open-source-day If anyone is interested in mentoring, they can apply to become_a_mentor[1] and join our slack channel here[2]. Anyone interested in participating in the hackathon can join us on #ceph-2021 on slack[2] for further guidelines. *Imp.
