Sure, there are lots of small, simple bugs in our Bugzilla that would
be a great first start. Ping me with any one that you've selected and
I'll let you know if it's less than an hour's worth of work.

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.
