Sure, we are making an effort to get everything in GNOME Games in
either C or Vala. If you want to convert one of the Seed games over to
Vala, that would be a great project that has a well-defined scope and
would be easy to build and get started with as it's using relatively
simple code with a very narrow task list.

I'm not really plugged in to the Women Outreach program right now as
I've been very busy but if you can meet the time constraints, I would
be willing to help you get your build environment set up.
