Keeping safe, well and connected during social/self-isolation

It's an extraordinary time we are going through, our everyday lives are completely disrupted the last three weeks, and we are adapting.

To all the folks on the frontline from various industries keeping the country ticking on, they deserve our hugest support and recognition. 👏👏👏

There are volunteer groups who from took initiative from the first official announcement from the government about social isolation and call to action like Open Source Ventilator Project and the Covid-19 Cloth Face Masks for All Ireland Facebook group. I recently joined the 3D Printing Ireland Facebook group who are printing face shields for frontline health workers. If you have a 3D printer or know of folks/organisations who can get involved, do join in the various volunteer efforts. 💪🏼

Also, just heard that Bank of Ireland is providing €1m in emergency funding for communities impacted by Covid-19. If there's info like that, let me know and I'll share it far and wide.
Coding Grace was part of a diversity in games programme called ReFig:Network in Play in conjunction with GameCraft Foundation and NUIM, and last month we launched the ‘Decoding and Recoding Game-Making Events for Diversity, Inclusion and Innovation’ manual (PDF).
🤔We are still interested in finding out what you are interesting in learning, especially now that we are indoors and would be a great opportunity to learn new skills.
Tell us what you are interested this year
🤲We mentioned this in our newsletter last month. We want to try and make Coding Grace sustainable, our huge expense is our accountant each year. So we are trying out Open Collective and we are open to donations from individuals and corporates. We are not-for-profit and it's wholly volunteer-based running it. 
Support Coding Grace
📚Reading list this month. If you have something to share in our reading list, drop me an email.
Big shout out to allthetechthings.com where we pulled information about Diversity/Grants and Call for Papers from around Europe.
Any enquiries (incl. CFPs, announcements, etc), you can drop me an email at contact@codinggrace.com.
Hope everyone stay healthy and safe. #StayAtHome and #WashYourHands is ever so important right now, let's get through this together. 😷🧼

Thanks,
