Hi Folks-

Are you looking to write code that improves KiCad?

On Friday, Jan 31 (the day before FOSDEM), we'll be hosting a Learn to 
Code KiCad session in Brussels, BE.  I will be there as will Wayne and 
possibly a few other of the lead development team.  We'll help you 
understand how the various KiCad components fit together and work with 
you to get your favorite feature from idea to committed code.

What you need:

1) An identified bug report (or multiple) that you'd like to address.  
This can be either a legitimate bug or a wishlist feature that is 
triaged in our system.
2) A laptop with your development environment
3) A launchpad account
4) A compiling version of KiCad
5) A working knowledge of C++ coding

What we'll provide:

1) Space, power outlet, wifi
2) Coffee
3) A short introduction to the structure of KiCad and how the parts work 
together
4) Up to 8 hours of development time with others who share your interests
5) Clarifying insights to your KiCad coding questions

At the end of the day, you should be able to get at least 1 and possibly 
multiple bug report fixes under your belt and into the code base!

If you're coming to FOSDEM 2020 and would like to participate, please 
e-mail me directly (off-list to preserve people's inboxes). Send me your 
name/contact info and the list of 1 or more launchpad bugs you'd like to 
work on during the day.  I'll add you to our shared sheet (to deconflict 
bugs people are addressing) and get you all of the relevant information 
for the meeting.

Best-
Seth
