Hi everyone! Wishathon will begin in less than 12 hours from now. For those
planning to join, I hope you're all excited for an adventurous weekend
ahead! :D Remember to review the agenda <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Event:WishathonMarch2024#Schedule> a few
hours before the event starts, and for those who have signed up to
volunteer, check the help desk schedule <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Event:WishathonMarch2024/Help_desk> to
remind yourself of the duties you've signed up for.

For experienced contributors, your help with code reviews, providing
technical guidance to attendees and monitoring the Wikimedia Hackathon
Telegram channel <https://t.me/wmhack> where we anticipate most activity to
take place, is welcome!

Newbies, we hope you have a great time participating, listening to

Hello,

Community Wishathon is coming next month: March 15th-17th, 2024! So far, 78
participants have signed up to attend this online event since its first
announcement in December 2023 

You can check out the project ideas and schedule on the event page at <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Event:WishathonMarch2024>. These ideas come
from the wishes people share in Community Wishlist Survey <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey>. If you're a
user, developer, designer, or product lead, you are welcome to join! You
can sign up for the event on the wiki page and add your name, time zone,
and preferred contact method to a project by *February 15th, 2024*.

Before the event, you can learn about the projects and connect with others
who are interested. You can contact them using their preferred contact
method and consider forming project groups on Telegram.

During the event, there will be an opening session to introduce the event
and project ideas, async time for working on projects, self-organized
virtual project group meetings, and a showcase ceremony to share what each
group accomplished during the event. If you want to help with the event or
have questions, let us know on the event's talk page.

[Wikimedia-l] Introducing Wishathon for Wikimedia’s Community Wishlist!

[Srishti Sethi]

Hello everyone,

Wishathon is a new initiative that encourages collaboration across the
Wikimedia community to develop solutions for wishes collected through the
Community Wishlist Survey: <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey>. The inaugural
community edition will take place from *March 15th to 17th, 2024*. You can
learn more and sign up here: <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Event:WishathonMarch2024>.

Since May 2022, the Community Tech team has organized five Wishathons <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Tech/Wishathon> internal to
Foundation staff to bring greater technical capacity to address open wishes
and promote collaboration on wishes within the product & technology teams.
Since the inception of the Wishathon, Foundation staff have helped
Community Tech complete work on 10 wishes that were otherwise stalling or
incomplete. This next edition of the Wishathon extends to Wikimedia
contributors as a next step in these efforts.

If you are interested in a project proposal as a user, developer, designer,
or product lead, you are welcome to join the event! If you wish to take
part in the Wishathon, you can register for the event on this wiki page: <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Event:WishathonMarch2024>. Organizers will
send a message to your talk page with more details about the event in
January 2024 and post updates on this page.

[Srishti Sethi]

Hello all,

The first language community meeting is coming up in a few weeks - November
17th, 16:00 UTC.

If you're interested, you can sign up on this wiki page: <
https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Wikimedia_Language_engineering/Community_meetings#Meetings>
[1].

We would like to invite all of you who are involved in creating content or
managing technical aspects across different language communities. This will
be a participant-driven meeting, where we collectively discuss specific
technical issues related to our language wikis and work together to find
possible solutions. This could involve anything from fixing a broken
template on the Kurdish wiki to brainstorming ideas for growing content on
the Tulu Wiktionary, currently in the Wikimedia Incubator, or celebrating
the creation of Fon Wikipedia, to using MinT for content translation.

You can view the meeting structure and add ideas for discussion to the
notes document here: <
https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/language-community-meeting-november-2023>

[Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia Hackathon in Athens: registration, program & satellite events

[Srishti Sethi]

Hello all,

As you may already know, the Wikimedia Hackathon 2023 will take place in
Technopolis, Athens, Greece, on May 19-21. This in-person event will gather
the global Wikimedia technical community to connect, hack, run technical
discussions, and explore new ideas.

*If you plan to join, please register as soon as possible.*

Registration for the Hackathon will be open until we reach the event's
maximum capacity [0]. If you plan to join, we encourage you to register as
soon as possible, as there are currently around ten slots left. We also
encourage you to book your travel and accommodation shortly. You will find
more information on the travel [1] and accommodation [2] pages. You are
also welcome to help us improve those pages by adding additional
information about Athens and how to travel there.

For people who already registered, remember to confirm your attendance by
filling out the additional field in the registration form (see the email
sent by hackat...@wikimedia.org on March 13). Please note that WMF's
scholarship process concluded in January, and aside from the 51 people who
got a scholarship confirmed, we cannot support people with funds or visa
documents. Therefore, most participants must organize their own travel to
stay in Athens.

This year's edition will focus on bringing together people who already
contribute to technical aspects of the Wikimedia projects, know how to find
their way around in the technical ecosystem, and can work or collaborate on
projects more autonomously. For people new to our technical environment,
there are other newcomers-friendly events you can join throughout the year
- feel free to improve the list. [3]

*You can organize a satellite event with your local community.*

For people new to the technical aspects of the Wikimedia projects or who
cannot attend the in-person event, a great option could be to organize an
autonomous, local satellite event to the Hackathon. These events can occur
before, during, or after the in-person event. If you are considering
running an event like this, contact your local community to get started! If
you need financial support, please note that the deadline to apply for the
current round of Rapid Funds is March 20 [4].

*Proposals for the in-person program are welcome until April 4.*

The Hackathon is organized as a participant-driven event and lives from the
active participation of its attendees. Because this year's edition is
focused on reconnecting with your technical community peers in person, most
of the program will take place onsite. You can propose a session by
creating a task on the Phabricator board. Find more information on the
Program page [5].

Similar to the satellite events, some online sessions, in parallel or ahead
of the event, may be organized autonomously by participants. In any case,
participants are free to work on their projects, whether in-person or
online, and connect to the technical community on the Hackathon channels
[6].

If you have any questions, feel free to use the Hackathon talk page or to
reach out to the organizers at hackat...@wikimedia.org.

Cheers,
Srishti

[Wikimedia-l] Information about Wikimedia Hackathon 2023 satellite events

[Srishti Sethi]

Hello everyone,

If you are interested in organizing or joining a hackathon event, but
cannot attend the in-person Hackathon event in May in Athens, Greece, this
email is for you!

We encourage communities, user groups or chapters to organize satellite
events connected to the in-person Hackathon. These events are to be
organized autonomously and share the hackathon's purpose: bringing the
global technical community together to connect, hack, run technical
discussions, and explore new ideas.

You can work with your wiki community to organize these events before,
during, or after the main event to onboard newcomers to the technical
aspects of the Wikimedia movement, hosting watch parties or meetups in your
region to offer an alternative to people who cannot join the in-person
event in Athens.

To obtain help with organizing an event, you can apply for funds via the *Rapid
Grants* maintained by the Wikimedia Foundation. The deadline to apply for
funding is *March 20*. When preparing for your event, you can reach out to
the Hackathon organizing team for support with resources, designing the
program, and guidance on getting involved in the global event.

Learn more about the satellite events, funding process, and a checklist for
organizing on the wiki page: <
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2023/Satellite_events>

Cheers,
Srishti

[Wikimedia-l] Call for projects and mentors for Google Summer of Code 2023 and Outreachy Round 26 is ongoing!

[Srishti Sethi]

Hello everyone,

TLDR; Wikimedia will soon be applying as a mentoring organization to *Google
Summer of Code 2023* <
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2023> [1] and *Outreachy
Round 26* <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Round_26> [2]. We are
currently working on a list of interesting project ideas to include in the
application. If you have some ideas for *coding or non-coding (design,
documentation, translation, outreach, research) projects*, share them by*
February 7th* here: <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T326991> [3]. For
non-coding projects that can be promoted via Outreachy, there are only two
available slots, which will be allocated to mentors on a first-come,
first-serve basis.

*Timeline*
As a mentor, you will engage potential candidates in the application period
for both programs between March and April. You will help candidates make
small contributions to your project and answer any project-related queries
during this time. You will work more closely with the accepted candidates
during the coding period between May and August.

*Tips for proposing projects*
* Follow this task description template when you propose a project in
Phabricator: <
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/outreach-programs-projects> [4]. You
can also use this workboard to pick an idea if you don't have one already.
Add #Google- Summer-of-Code (2023) or #Outreachy (Round 26) tag.
* Project should require an experienced developer ~15 days and a newcomer
~3 months to complete.
* Each project should have at least two mentors, including one with a
technical background.
* Ideally, the project has no tight deadlines, a moderate learning curve,
and fewer dependencies on Wikimedia's core infrastructure. Projects
addressing the needs of a language community are most welcome.

Learn more about the roles and responsibilities of mentors on
MediaWiki.org: <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Mentors> [5], <

[Srishti Sethi]

Hello, If you missed attending the last feedback session on the small wiki
toolkits workshops, here is a short survey that you could fill out to let
us know your technical learning needs and ideas and suggestions for
improving the workshop format for the next year <
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeVhqgZYXQG8Fgw25xRS0n7eKMleOKy5i1tM5Ty3mGACtcTag/viewform>
[1] If you attended the feedback session, you can still fill out the survey
to share ideas that you couldn't do so more anonymously during our meeting
last week.


We look forward to learning from your suggestions and including them in the
planning for next year.


Cheers,

Srishti

Hello all, Just a quick follow-up on this email. As of now, we have three
projects almost finalized and ready to participate in Outreachy. There are
still two more projects we can accommodate in this round; if there is an
interest, drop a comment on the Phabricator task. You can also dive into
the task to learn more about the projects already added to give you an idea
:)

[Wikimedia-l] Outreachy Round 25–call for projects and mentors now open!

[Srishti Sethi]

Hello everyone,

Wikimedia is participating in the winter edition of this year's Outreachy <
https://www.outreachy.org/> [1] (December 2022–March 2023)! The deadline to
submit projects on the Outreachy website is September 30th, 2022. We are
currently working on a list of interesting project ideas. If you have some
ideas for coding or non-coding (design, documentation, translation,
outreach, research) projects, share them here: <
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T313361> [2].


*About the Outreachy program*
Outreachy offers three-month internships to work remotely in Free and Open
Source Software (FOSS), coding, and non-coding projects with experienced
mentors. These internships run twice a year–from May to August and December
to March. Interns are paid a stipend of USD 7000 for the three months of
work. Interns often find employment after their internship with Outreachy
sponsors or jobs that use the skills they learned during their internship.
This program is open to both students and non-students. Outreachy expressly
invites the following people to apply:
* Women (both cis and trans), trans men, and genderqueer people.
* Anyone who faces under-representation, systematic bias, or discrimination
in the technology industry in their country of residence.
* Residents and nationals of the United States of any gender who are
Black/African American, Hispanic/Latinx, Native American/American Indian,
Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander.

See a blog post highlighting the experiences and outcomes of interns who
participated in a previous round of Outreachy with Wikimedia <
https://techblog.wikimedia.org/2021/06/02/outreachy-round-21-experiences-and-outcomes/>
[3]


*Tips for mentors for proposing projects*
* Follow this task description template when you propose a project in
Phabricator: <
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/outreach-programs-projects> [4]. Add
#Outreachy-Round-25 tag.
* Project should require an experienced developer ~15 days and a newcomer
~3 months to complete.
* Each project should have at least two mentors, with one of them holding a
technical background.
* Ideally, the project has no tight deadlines, a moderate learning curve,
and fewer dependencies on Wikimedia's core infrastructure. Projects
addressing the needs of a language community are most welcome.
* If you don't have an idea in mind and would like to pick one from an
existing list, check out these projects: <
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/outreach-programs-projects/> [4]
* To learn more about the roles and responsibilities of mentors, visit our
resources on MediaWiki.org: <
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Mentors> [5].

We look forward to your participation!

Cheers,
Srishti

[Wikimedia-l] Re: [Wikitech-l] Wikimedia Hackathon: Call for Sessions

[Srishti Sethi]

Hello all,


Following up on this thread - Komla (cc'd) and I are planning to moderate a
few sessions at the upcoming Wikimedia Hackathon; each focused on a popular
bot to show how one can set it up on their language wiki <
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T306593> [1]. We are currently recruiting
session leaders who are owners / maintainers of a popular bot (for example,
<
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits/Starter_kit/Bots_and_Tools#Bots>
[2]). We want the session leader to address some commonly asked questions
about setting up a bot (see the task description for details). If you are
interested in joining our efforts and running a session around a bot that
you own, please share your interest in the Phabricator task linked above.


Best,

Srishti

Hello Handgod,

We currently do not have the resources to offer the workshop content in
different languages. We are investigating the possibility of taking this up
in future projects. One thing, though, is that we are presently exploring
Google Meet's live captioning feature, and interestingly, it offers
translations in French. As I have not tested this feature myself,
particularly for non-English translations, I am unsure how reliable it is,
something you might want to try out!

[Wikimedia-l] Third Pywikibot workshop on Friday, April 29th, 16:00 UTC

[Srishti Sethi]

Hello everyone,


The third workshop on the topic of "Writing Pywikibot scripts" is coming up
- it will take place on Friday, April 29th at 16:00 UTC. You can find more
details on the workshop and a link to join here: <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits/Workshops#How_to_write_a_basic_script_via_Pywikibot>

[Wikimedia-l] Swag program for technical contributors

[Srishti Sethi]

Hello everyone,

We want to let you know about a new swag program for technical contributors
that the Wikimedia Foundation's Technical Engagement <
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Technical_Engagement> [1] team has
developed in collaboration with the Fundraising Operations <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising> [2] team. This program will
reward technical contributors for their active participation in outreach
programs, events, and software projects by giving swag.

This is a small token of appreciation for the countless efforts of our
technical contributors!

In the first year of its operation, the swag program considers 85
individuals with significant contributions as developers, mentors, and
organizers in 2021 for each of the following areas.

   - Google Summer of Code & Outreachy
   - Small wiki toolkits
   - Gerrit code contributions
   - Wikimedia & Wikimania Hackathon

To learn more about each of these areas and the overall program, visit <
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_tech_swag_program> [3]. If you
have any feedback or questions, or have suggestions around which areas to
cover, please share on the talk page.

Best,
Srishti

[Wikimedia-l] Second Pywikibot workshop on Friday, March 25th, 16:00 UTC

[Srishti Sethi]

Hello everyone,

The second workshop on the topic of "Running Pywikibot scripts" is coming
up - it will take place on Friday, March 25th at 16:00 UTC. You can find
more details on the workshop and a link to join here: <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits/Workshops#How_to_run_a_basic_script_via_Pywikibot>
[1].

This workshop will introduce participants to the bot scripts available via
the Pywikibot framework and how to use them. If you missed attending the
first one, it would be beneficial to have Pywikibot installed on your

[Wikimedia-l] Re: Call for projects and mentors for Google Summer of Code 2022 and Outreachy Round 24 is ongoing!

[Srishti Sethi]

Hello all,

We are sharing a few updates on the two mentoring programs.

* We have applied as a mentoring organization to Google (for GSoC) and
Software Freedom Conservancy (for Outreachy). The decision is still pending
from Google on our application.
* So far, we have received interest from 15 mentors to participate and
promote 9 projects in total. You can learn more about the projects here: <
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2022#Ideas_for_projects>
[1] and <
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Round_24#Ideas_for_projects> [2]
* The application period for Outreachy / GSoC will begin in the last week
of March / first week of April.

We do not have any remaining slots for Outreachy, but we would appreciate
any more project ideas you would like to promote / mentor via GSoC. You can
express your interest on the Phabricator task: <
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T299453> [3].

Cheers,

[Wikimedia-l] Learn how to develop bots in small wiki toolkit workshops

[Srishti Sethi]

Hi all,

TLDR; Want to learn new technical skills to help improve your wiki? Sign up
for workshops on scripts and bot development, organized by the small wiki
toolkits initiative: <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits/Workshops> [1].

Small wiki toolkits (SWT) is an initiative to build technical capacity in
smaller language wikis by developing toolkits, conducting workshops, and
providing technical support <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits> [2]. The first set of
workshops for 2022 will teach individuals how to automate work in their
wiki community by developing, maintaining, and hosting bots. These
trainings build upon the lessons learned from two regional initiatives in
2021: <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits#Past_events> [3].

To sign up for a workshop, add your signature under a specific workshop
section on this page <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits/Workshops> [4]. The
first workshop is scheduled for February 25th, 16:00 UTC. The organizing
team will share more details on mailing lists and on your talk page closer
to the date of the workshop.

The SWT Organizing Team is also exploring issuing digital certificates and
badges to attendees of these workshops. More information on that will be
available in the coming weeks.

We look forward to your participation!

Cheers,
Srishti

[Wikimedia-l] Call for projects and mentors for Google Summer of Code 2022 and Outreachy Round 24 is ongoing!

[Srishti Sethi]

Hello everyone,

TLDR; Wikimedia will soon be applying as a mentoring organization to Google
Summer of Code 2022 <https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com> [1] and Outreachy
Round 24 <https://www.outreachy.org/> [2]. We are currently working on a
list of interesting project ideas to include in the application. If you
have some ideas for coding or non-coding (design, documentation,
translation, outreach, research) projects, share them here: <
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T299453> [3].

*Timeline*
As a mentor, you will engage potential candidates in the application period
for both programs between March and April. You will help candidates make
small contributions to your project and answer any project-related queries
during this time. You will work more closely with the accepted candidates
during the coding period between May and August.

*New changes are coming to GSoC*
GSoC has exciting changes this year, including:
* Eligibility criteria redefined–the program is now open to all open-source
newcomers 18 years and older. It will no longer be solely focused on
university students or recent graduates.
* Multiple sizes of projects supported–ranging from ~175 to ~350 hr long.
* Increased flexibility in project timing–project deadline can be extended
to up to 22 weeks.

*Tips for proposing projects*
* Follow this task description template when you propose a project in
Phabricator: <
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/outreach-programs-projects> [4]. Add
#Google- Summer-of-Code (2022) or #Outreachy (Round 24) tag.
* Project should require an experienced developer ~15 days and a newcomer
~3 months to complete.
* Each project should have at least two mentors, and one of them should
hold a technical background.
* Ideally, the project has no tight deadlines, a moderate learning curve,
and fewer dependencies on Wikimedia's core infrastructure. Projects
addressing the needs of a language community are most welcome!
* If you don't have an idea in mind and would like to pick one from an
existing list, check out these projects: <

[Wikimedia-l] Re: Outreachy Round 23–call for projects and mentors now open!

[Srishti Sethi]

Hello everyone,

This message is a reminder for folks who might be interested in mentoring a
project as part of the Outreachy program. Now would be the time to express
your interest (see details in this thread above).

So far, we have received interest from 3 projects, and we can fund up to 7
in the next round. We would also be happy to walk you through the process
individually if this will be your first time mentoring in the program.

Drop a note here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T289893

Cheers,
Srishti

[Wikimedia-l] Outreachy Round 23–call for projects and mentors now open!

[Srishti Sethi]

Hello everyone,

Wikimedia is participating in the winter edition of this year's Outreachy <
https://www.outreachy.org/> [1] (December 2021–February 2022)! The deadline
to submit projects on the Outreachy website is *September 30th, 2021*.

If you would like to share an idea for a project that you would like to
mentor or you are not familiar with the program and want to learn anything
more about it, feel free to reply to this email or leave a note on <
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T289893> [2].

*About the Outreachy program*:
Outreachy offers three-month internships to work remotely in Free and Open
Source Software (FOSS), coding and non-coding projects with experienced
mentors. These internships run twice a year–from May to August and December
to March. Interns are paid a stipend of USD 5,500 for the three months of
work. They also have a USD 500 stipend to travel to conferences and events.
Interns often find employment after their internship with Outreachy
sponsors or jobs that use the skills they learned during their internship.
This program is open to both students and non-students. Outreachy expressly
invites the following people to apply:

   - Women (both cis and trans), trans men, and genderqueer people.
   - Anyone who faces under-representation, systematic bias, or
   discrimination in the technology industry in their country of residence.
   - Residents and nationals of the United States of any gender who are
   Black/African American, Hispanic/Latinx, Native American/American Indian,
   Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander.

See a blog post highlighting experiences and outcomes of interns who
participated in a previous round of Outreachy with Wikimedia <
https://techblog.wikimedia.org/2021/06/02/outreachy-round-21-experiences-and-outcomes/>
[3]

Some tips for mentors for proposing projects:

   - Follow this task description template when you propose a project in
   Phabricator: <
   https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/outreach-programs-projects/> [4].
   Add #Outreachy (Round 23) tag to it.
   - Remember, the project should require an experienced developer ~15 days
   to complete and a newcomer ~3 months.
   - Each project should have at least two mentors, and one of them should
   hold a technical background.
   - When it comes to picking a project, you could propose one that is:
  - Relevant for your language community or brings impact to the
  Wikimedia ecosystem in the future.
  - Welcoming and newcomer-friendly and has a moderate learning curve.
  - A new idea you are passionate about, there are no deadlines
  attached to it; you always wanted to see it happen but couldn't
due to lack
  of resources help!
  - About developing a standalone tool (possibly hosted on Wikimedia
  Toolforge), with fewer dependencies on Wikimedia's core
infrastructure, it
  doesn't necessarily require a specific programming language.

See roles and responsibilities of an Outreachy mentor <
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Mentors> [5].

We look forward to your participation!

Cheers,
Srishti

[Wikimedia-l] Re: Sign up for the Toolhub's quality signal sessions

[Srishti Sethi]

Hello all,


This is a follow-up to a previous email about Toolhub’s quality signal
sessions on this list.


We are also organizing an async feedback round for *tool maintainers* to
gather their input on quality indicators for tools in the Wikimedia
ecosystem. We will use this feedback to develop a new feature set for
Toolhub to convey the quality of tools.


We have a few questions for tool maintainers that we have posted here
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Toolhub/The_Quality_Signal_Sessions#Discussion_topic_for_%22Quality_Signal_Sessions:_The_Tool_Maintainers_edition%22>
[1].
Your feedback would be valuable! You can share your feedback in response to
the discussion questions on the same topic; the last date to do so is
August 31st.


Best,

Srishti

[Wikimedia-l] Wikimania Hackathon 2021: Call for sessions and projects now open!

[Srishti Sethi]

Hello all,

This email is a reminder to start proposing projects and sessions for this
year’s Wikimania hackathon, taking place on August 13th (the first day of
Wikimania). You may have already seen the announcement email last week with
all the details.

This year’s hackathon will take place in a 24 hrs format covering all time
zones. You can start proposing a session or a project by following the
guidelines here: <
https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2021:Hackathon#Propose_a_project_or_a_session>
[1].

We also encourage folks to reuse the video of a previously recorded session
(in lecture format) to organize a watch party-style session. And, you can
pause during or after for questions and discussions. That way, you have to
do less prep, and one can watch your session at any time during the event.

There isn't a specific focus area proposed this time, so your session or
project needn't fit under a theme. Anything that involves MediaWiki
development or covers a technical area in the Wikimedia ecosystem. Plus, we
welcome sessions that would be helpful to newcomers–new to the event, our
technical spaces, or projects.

If you have any questions, feel free to use the related talk page to
contact the organizing team or join the community conversation on Telegram:
<https://t.me/wikimaniachat> [2].

We look forward to your participation!

Srishti

[Wikimedia-l] Sign up for the Toolhub's quality signal sessions

[Srishti Sethi]

Hello all,

We invite you all to sign up for Toolhub's Quality Signal sessions!

Toolhub <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Toolhub> [1] is a
community-authored catalog of Wikimedia tools. On Toolhub, you will be able
to discover new tools in the Wikimedia ecosystem, promote their use in your
wiki community, and help improve them by contributing data. Toolhub's first
release is planned around Wikimania 2021.

The Toolhub team is currently working on identifying quality indicators
through conversations with tool users and developers. As a tool user, how
do you know which tool is reliable, useful, and safe to use? As a tool
maintainer, what makes it attractive to you to contribute to an existing
tool? What information are you looking for to decide whether to join a tool
project? We hope that these sessions will help gather quality indicators
for tools and provide valuable insight toward developing new features to
convey the quality.

Want to organize a quality signal session in your community in August/early
September? Please get in touch on the talk page or sign-up for an already
planned session by adding your name below it: <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Toolhub/The_Quality_Signal_Sessions> [2].
Your feedback, thoughts, ideas would be valuable!

If you are attending Wikimania, we are running a few introductions and a
feedback session as part of the unconference. Learn more here: <
https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2021:Unconference/Toolhub> [3].

[Wikimedia-l] Mentor a data science and engineering project in Outreachy Round 21–call for projects now open!

[Srishti Sethi]

Hello everyone,

Wikimedia is participating in the winter edition of this year's Outreachy <
https://www.outreachy.org/> [1] (December 2020–February 2021) and plans to
mentor ~6 interns! The deadline to submit projects on the Outreachy website
is September 24th, 2020.

This round will be a bit different for Wikimedia–we are considering keeping
the focus of projects on data science and engineering. We hope that with a
particular theme, interns will have more opportunities to interact with and
support each other, and in turn, they will have a more fulfilling
experience! For example, a project could be to analyze publicly available
Wikimedia datasets to create valuable tools that can help perform vital
tasks or generate insights that help make data-informed decisions. A
project's nature could be coding or non-coding (documentation, design,
research, outreach, translation, etc.). Though we plan to prefer the
projects related to the theme, we still encourage you to reach out if you
have other ideas.

If you would like to share an idea for a project that you would like to
mentor or you are not familiar with the program and want to learn anything
more about it, feel free to reply to this email or leave a note on <
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T258524> [2].

About the Outreachy program:
Outreachy offers three-month internships to work remotely in Free and Open
Source Software (FOSS), coding and non-coding projects with experienced
mentors. These internships run twice a year–from May to August and December
to March. Interns are paid a stipend of USD 5,500 for the three months of
work. They also have a USD 500 stipend to travel to conferences and events.
Interns often find employment after their internship with Outreachy
sponsors or jobs that use the skills they learned during their internship.
This program is open to both students and non-students. Outreachy expressly
invites the following people to apply:

   - Women (both cis and trans), trans men, and genderqueer people.
   - Anyone who faces under-representation, systematic bias, or
   discrimination in the technology industry in their country of residence.
   - Residents and nationals of the United States of any gender who are
   Black/African American, Hispanic/Latinx, Native American/American Indian,
   Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander.

See a blog post highlighting one of our intern's experience participating
in Outreachy program with Wikimedia <
https://techblog.wikimedia.org/2020/08/26/lalithas-story-an-outreachy-intern-shares-her-experience/>
[3]

Some tips for mentors for proposing projects:

   - Follow this task description template when you propose a project in
   Phabricator: <
   https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/outreach-programs-projects/> [4].
   Add #Outreachy (Round 21) tag to it.
   - Remember, the project should require an experienced developer ~15 days
   to complete and a newcomer ~3 months.
   - Each project should have at least two mentors, and one of them should
   hold a technical background.
   - When it comes to picking a project, you could propose one that is:
  - Relevant for your language community or brings impact to the
  Wikimedia ecosystem in the future.
  - Welcoming and newcomer-friendly and has a moderate learning curve.
  - A new idea you are passionate about, there are no deadlines
  attached to it; you always wanted to see it happen but couldn't
due to lack
  of resources help!
  - About developing a standalone tool (possibly hosted on Wikimedia
  Toolforge), with fewer dependencies on Wikimedia's core
infrastructure, it
  doesn't necessarily require a specific programming language.
   - See roles and responsibilities of an Outreachy mentor <
   https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Mentors> [5].

We look forward to your participation!

Cheers,

Wikimedia organization admins for Outreachy

[Wikimedia-l] NEW: Lists of technical resources and recommendations for smaller language wikis!

[Srishti Sethi]

Hello everyone,

As part of the Small wiki toolkits
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits> initiative, a Starter
kit <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits/Starter_kit> has
been developed for smaller language Wikimedia wikis! This Starter kit lists
resources, tools, and recommendations in technical areas (e.g., templates,
bots, gadgets, etc.) relevant to smaller wikis that are just getting
started. Small wiki contributors can use it to make their community's
workflow easier. You can now use and promote the Starter kit in your wiki
community, and start translating the landing page and its subpages in a
language you want.

If you have any questions, ideas for venues where it should be shared or
wiki pages where it should be linked, or any other suggestions for
improving it further, please share on this talk page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Small_wiki_toolkits/Starter_kit>.

If you are interested in helping with the Small Wiki Toolkits initiative
and can offer help with running workshops, developing toolkits, or
exchanging problems and challenges in smaller wiki communities, add
yourself as a member here:

[Wikimedia-l] Help smaller wiki communities grow their technical capacity!

[Srishti Sethi]

Hello all,

Small Wiki Toolkits (SWT) is an initiative to support small wiki
communities by sharing and developing technical skills needed to support,
maintain, and grow a language wiki. You can learn more about it here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits

As a next step for this initiative, we would like to share with you some
ideas on how you can be a part of this:

   - Contribute to a Starter kit <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T242545>
   by proposing or helping develop and write recommendations for technical
   topics in simple English.
   - Develop toolkits using the recommendations
   <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits#Develop_toolkits>
   on the SWT page. You can see existing toolkits in the
   Category:Small_wiki_toolkits
   <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Small_wiki_toolkits> on
   Wikimedia Commons.
   - Learn technical topics using the resources
   <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits#Toolkits> on the
   SWT page and apply the skills gained to provide technical support to a
   small wiki community.
   - Translate resources such as the SWT page itself and tutorials on
   technical topics linked from it.
   - Provide technical support
   
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits#Ask_your_technical_questions>
   on the support desk on mediawiki.org, mailing lists, etc.
   - Organize a technical workshop or a session to help a small wiki
   community.

If you want to help with any of the above or there is anything else you
would like to share around building local capacity in a small wiki,
please start
a discussion on the talk page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Small_wiki_toolkits> and/or add your
name to the list of interested members
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits#Members_list>.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia has been accepted as a mentor organization in GSoC 2019!

[Srishti Sethi]

Yeah, we can! But, we need projects with a clear scope and two mentors who
are willing to provide guidance to students throughout the summer
(May-August) as they develop their projects. And, this is not necessarily
the case with community wishlist projects that are not in the top 10. In
the past, we have tried to promote the wishlist projects through our
outreach programs but couldn't make any progress.

If any developer is interested in mentoring a project from the wishlist, I
would be happy to chat with them!

[Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia has been accepted as a mentor organization in GSoC 2019!

[Srishti Sethi]

Hello everyone,

Wikimedia has been accepted as a mentor organization in the Google Summer
of Code 2019 with 207 open source projects
<https://opensource.googleblog.com/2019/02/gsoc-2019-organizations.html> :)
And, application period for Outreachy Round 18 started last week.

We have listed a few ideas for projects for both programs on MediaWiki and
we are looking for more. Unlike Google Summer of Code, Outreachy is open to
non-students and non-coders and projects could be around documentation,
design, translation research, outreach, etc. View current list of ideas:

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2019

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Round_18

Both these programs have a similar timeline for the summer round. Accepted
candidates will work with mentors from May to August 2019. If you are
interested in mentoring a project, create a task on Phabricator and tag it
with #outreach-programs-projects and #Google-Summer-of-Code (2019) or
#Outreachy (Round 18). You can also choose to mentor for projects already
on outreach-programs-projects
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/outreach-programs-projects/>
workboard. Remember, every project must have two mentors.

Some helpful resources for you:
* Learn more about the roles and responsibilities of a mentor:

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Starting School Activity: Possible Support and Tips

[Srishti Sethi]

Hello Zubin,

Glad to hear your interest in starting an activity around Wikimedia
projects at your high school!

We recommend developers looking to contribute code to our projects to start
with following our New Developers guide [1]. This guide contains
information on how to choose a project, list of beginner-friendly projects
and bugs, additional resources, outreach programs, and how to contribute in
non-technical areas.

We also have documentation of a workshop [2] we ran for high school
students around Wikimedia and Google Code-in, that you might find useful.

If you have a specific request for support from us, feel free to reach out

[Srishti Sethi]

Hello everyone,

Wikimedia has been accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer
of Code 2018!

We already have recruited six project ideas and mentors, but we are looking
for a minimum of *14-15 ideas* more, as Google Summer of Code is a neat
platform to bring new developers :) https://www.mediawiki.org/
wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2018

If you are interested in mentoring a project, but not sure what the roles
and responsibilities of a mentor are like, take a look at our guide:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/Mentors. Feel free to
propose your own idea, or help by mentoring one of the below listed,
curated from the possible-tech-projects workboard:

   1. Tools for volunteers to make it easier to improve the Wikispeech
   lexicon https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T161310
   2. Notification your file was used https://phabricator.wikimedia.
   org/T77154
   3. Notify users about deletion tags being added to pages they created

   8. Allow having an on-wiki ToDo list per user
   https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T48103

Hello everyone,

I would like to share the first edition of the New Developers Quarterly

survey analysis and lessons learned from new developers focused activities
in the previous quarter (July-September 2017).

If you have questions and feedback that you would like to share with us,
please add them on the discussion
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:New_Developers/Quarterly/2017-10>
page.

To receive a notification when a new report is published, subscribe here

If you have any questions, comments, and concerns, we will be more than
happy to hear them!


Thanks,

Srishti

[Wikimedia-l] Outreachy Round 15: Feature suitable projects and become a mentor

[Srishti Sethi]

Hello everyone,

Wikimedia is delighted to participate the eleventh time in the Outreachy
<https://www.outreachy.org/> internship program. The application period for
interns opens September 7th and will be due October 23rd. In the meanwhile,
we need your help -- we are looking for *suitable projects* and
*mentors*. Projects
could be anything ranging from programming, user experience, documentation,
illustration and graphical design, to data science.

If you would like to feature a project / become a mentor:


   1. Get an overview of the selection process, and your responsibilities
   before, during, and after the program
   https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Mentors
   2. Create a task, or modify an existing one on Wikimedia's Phabricator
   <http://phabricator.wikimedia.org>. Make sure it includes: *Project
   title, description (summary in 8-10 lines), skills required (Phabricator
   tags are welcome), mentors (required two), micro tasks (link to Phabricator
   task that must be completed to become a strong candidate).*
   3. Tag the tasks with #Outreach-Programs-Projects
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/profile/2537/> and
   #Outreachy-Round-15
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/2957/> on Phabricator.

Some more helpful information:

   If you know a newcomer, who meets the eligibility criteria

   for the program, encourage them to apply and follow our participation
   guidelines <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Participants>.
