Hi Keerthana,

Around 6 months back we had organized a packaging workshop at Infopark
https://www.loomio.org/d/yCWzn89k/python-packaging-at-kochi-python-follow-up

We can organize more such workshops if there is interest.

Sure. You can start with learning npm2deb
https://wiki.debian.org/Javascript/Nodejs/Npm2Deb

Someone already requested reactJS to be packaged
http://bugs.debian.org/805376

$ npm2deb depends -b -r react

You can start with packaging one of its unpackaged dependencies.

You can join #debian-js and #debian-browserify (targeted at newbies) n
irc.oftc.net You can also use riot (riot.im) to join these channels.

Just ask here on this list or on irc if you need help with anything.
