How many have you suggested volunteer, and what were their thoughts after a semester?

About 60 a semester.

Number that attempt to get involved is unknown.

I require 1st semester students to push final projects to Github public repositories so they learn Git.

Biggest problem is that they can't program very well yet but want to contribute. So any low-hanging fruit is welcome, really.

I've been working as a programmer for a few years and I can't program very well. I can get things done but it takes longer as I'm constantly distracting myself. I want to contribute as well, particularly with compiling binaries and easier stuff but I don't know where to start.
