Parabéns, companheiro! É muito admirável o seu trabalho e esforço. Desejo muito sucesso ai a vocês!

Now so everyone else can understand the rest of my comment, you already have a project (this site) that people can work their skills on, so maybe a suggestion for new people that join your group is to take up a challenge of making an improvement or fixing a bug as their first task, following the full git workflow of adding issue, forking, creating a branch, making a PR and then getting it accepted and closing the issue, which would be celebrated by the group as the individual first contribution :)

You like Portuguese i see eheh! :D

Thanks for the congratulations, ans yeap, the git thin is only the baby steps, we have a LOT to improve :)

People who doesnt know anything about HTML, CSS and JS, in February of this year, and now they code for example a Pomodoro Clock (You see a lot on codepen of example) or a random quote generator (their CSS) even a tribute page, these projects are from freeCodeCamp CV, and the main objetive of this type of groups its to improve the techincal/soft skill for better. And we're working hard on that :)

I invite you to see our group here: facebook.com/groups/free.code.camp...

And we had social link as well, but dont want to spamm that here. But if you want you can see on the group. :D

Let's meet more programmers, we need help everytime! For example, we invited @dhanishgajjar (fullstack developer) well knowed on programming community, and he's living in Lisbon, and we have invited him to make a talk/workshop, and we will come certainly :D

Just to share a goot think. Thanks for your suggestions :D
