Description Mozilla Algeria, along with Open Minds Club, is organizing a 3-months long training on how to contribute to Open Source, with a focus on Mozilla (all trainers are from the Mozilla community, and Mozilla will be our case study). The goal is to train new contributors and guide them through the contribution path, and with that, to strengthen the Algerian community.
