Hi Vitaly,

very important work!

I think this is one of the most helpful pieces of information.  If they
show some interest, perhaps you can also show them some projects that
are especially friendly to newcomers.  When I do similar events, I tell
people that they just need to learn the basics of programming and then
it helps to make small changes to a big program.  Also, their
participation will show future employers what they are able to do and
that is a nice bonus.  Some Free Software projects have local meetings
to assign simple bugs to newcomers, so if there are any in your region,
that might be a useful thing to point out.

Happy hacking!
Florian
