Hack the Fellowship!

The Fellowship is always trying to improve, and of course you can help us do it!

One of the fields where the Fellows are actively helping is the Fellowship technological infrastructure.

We have several projects going on to renew the infrastructure and to add new features and services for Fellows. Please have a look at them and if you feel like to contribute to a project, or even just to a simple task, follow the instructions below.

Thanks to all those who helped us so far, and happy (Fellowship)hacking!
