Dear FOSS users
My name is Viktorija Manevska and I found out about this great opportunity to become an intern in the Free and Open Source Software program trough an event organized by the Free Software from Macedonia. Trough this event we were introduce to all the opportunities that a female programmer has and can do in the programming world.
While review your web and reading more about the program and the different opportunities that are available I have become more and more motivated to be part of this program. I have to admit that making a decision on which program to join it wasn’t easy, because there so many options and all of them are giving you the chance to develop your existing skill but also to acquire new skills during the work with the mentor.
The program in where I see myself the most and very I can help the most in my opinion is Firefox, especially in contribution to the front-end of Firefox or to Gaia the application layer of Firefox OS. Why this program? First is my passion to creating things that can help an everyday user and make an improvement in their online life. And second is I love web programming using HTML, CSS and _javascript_, and from what I have read this are the tools that Firefox is using in the front end. Also at the moment I am part of an web development course where we are learning more about HTML, CSS and _javascript_ and how to make the websites more user-friendly. I would like the knowledge that I will gain during this course to invest in this internship and also upgraded with new practical skills.
I would be very glad if you could inform me when this program will be open and how I can be part of it.
I would like to thank you in advance for your help and sorry for the big email.
Looking forward to your answer and further collaboration.
Kind regards
Viktorija Manevska
