ReplyHello everyone, My name is Dennis and I’m from Nigeria and I want to contribute to the D language, perhaps engage in the upcoming Symmetry Autumn of code, and contribute immensely to the D language and beyond.
I’m open to anyone directing me on things to work on. I'd really appreciate that.

Hi Dennis, nice to hear that! Razvan and Mike probably are good persons to ask such question. There are some project milestones in GitHub repo.. | |||

Hi, Dennis. Nice to meet you. I'll be making the announcement about SAOC 2024 in a few weeks. In the meantime, you can visit the SAOC page to learn everything you need to know about how to apply: It's still got the info from last year, but very little will change for this year. The application deadline could be different this time, but the rest of the dates should be the same. It will run from September 15 of this year to January 14 of next year. I'll leave it to Razvan Nitu and/or Dennis Korpel to help you with contributing. | |||

Hi Dennis! We have a bunch of projects that you could work on, however, choosing the right project depends of what you are interested in and your experience with the concepts involved. Generally, we have multiple fronts that work could be done on: the compiler, the runtime library, the standard library, ecosystem tools etc. I suggest you pick one of the categories, get the code, try to fix the issues (you can find our list of issues here: https://issues.dlang.org/ - searching for the keywork "bootcamp" will list issues that are considered entry level, but note that some of those might be more complicated then you would expect at a first glance) and then we can have a chat on projects you can work on. How does that sound? RazvanN | |||

How does that sound? RazvanN just in case I've worked on an issue, how do I communicate with the community/mentors about it? Is there a discord/slack community I can join? | |||

On the main website under Community there is an invite link to the community Discord.
Many people are there including Mike Parker and Razvan.
