Experience with another language can be transferred to D &#8220;on the job&#8221;, with a mentor to guide the way. Tell your friends and spread the word to other programming communities. This is a great way to bring new faces to the D community and the new ideas they may bring with them. All the information on how to apply and how to become a mentor is available <a href=\"https:\/\/dlang.org\/blog\/symmetry-autumn-of-code\/\">on the SAOC 2020 page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>DConf Online 2020 Swag<\/h3>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/dconf.org\/2020\/online\/images\/logo.png\" alt=\"DConf Online 2020 Logo\" class=\"alignleft size-full\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The DConf Online 2020 submission deadline of August 31 will be here before we know it.
