That’d be nice, do note that we don’t give grants for mon school courses now. There was another course ([[Upcoming] Mon.school course : Git & GitHub for Beginners](https://forum.fossunited.org/t/upcoming-mon-school-course-git-github-for-beginners/1059)) on this topic, we haven’t published it since the author was not able to work on the feedback provided due to time constraints.

Didn’t get you, do you plan to make seperate handles for mon.school? I think managing multiple social media channels for our various initiatives is not practical. We did have a [twitter account](https://twitter.com/JoinMonSchool) some time back, haven’t been using it now. We promote the courses on our main handle directly

Yep, [FOSS 101](https://forum.fossunited.org/t/foss-101-kickstart-your-journey-in-free-and-open-source-software/2742) aims to do this in some sense. The idea however is to evangelise FOSS in general among students, not as a way to get selected in these programs but to just promote the philosophy. We do plan to bring active contributors and project maintainers on here though.

This will also help us promote the [Season of Commits](https://forum.fossunited.org/t/season-of-commits/2494) program once we officiate it. Again, this needs to be very considerately planned, we don’t want to advertise it as a way to earn money by making PRs. There is enough controversy regarding these programs these days as is.

This is something we hadn’t thought of before, mon.school can potentially serve as a good resource for #FOSS Hack 4.0 too

I didn’t get this part.

> Working on a structure on how mon.school and FOSS Club can work together.

Absolutely, open to ideas!
