How does Tuscany Tune-Up work? In exchange for less than 8 hours of your time, you will be able to experience open source development and contribute to an actual product. You will be helping the Tuscany project improve by solving actual issues known as Jiras. See whether you like web development. Learn a new technology. Gain valuable experience for your resume. Get in touch with the world-wide development team. Meet and discuss issues with student mentors. Just follow the numbered steps below, marking off the steps as you complete them. If you get stuck, each section lists a live person that you can talk to via chat, email, or web cam. It's an easy way to pick up a valuable new skill. In the end we will reward you with a prize such as a commemorative pin, T-shirt, or movie tickets , and other fun prizes.(NOTE: This page is a mock up. There are no prizes at this point!)
