-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Call for tech projects needing contributors Date: Fri, 13 Sep 2013 07:34:31 -0700 From: Quim Gil <[email protected]> Organization: Wikimedia Foundation To: Wikimedia developers <[email protected]> The current round of Google Summer of Code & FLOSS Outreach Program for Women is about to end, and it's time to start a new cycle of mentored projects in Wikimedia tech. Check and contribute to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mentorship_programs/Possible_projects if you are * a Wikimedia project awaiting a specific software feature * an organization with budget for tech activities looking for a short term goal * a tech contributor with a cool idea for Wikimedia projects or MediaWiki in general Even if software development is a prominent activity, we also encourage proposals focusing on other technical areas: quality assurance, design, sysadmin, promotion... Post your proposal soon, edit it often. By submitting a proposal to the Possible Projects page you get attention and help from the tech community in the form of reality checks and contacts with possible mentors, interested projects and funding sources. 21 projects were selected in our last round, finishing now: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2013 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_Program_for_Women We keep searching for more opportunities to channels these projects, both within the Wikimedia movement (Individual Engagement Grants, chapters...) and out there (internship programs encouraging free software and diversity in tech). We want to hear your feedback! Use the discussion page or reply here. -- Quim Gil Technical Contributor Coordinator @ Wikimedia Foundation http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Qgil _______________________________________________ Wikitech-ambassadors mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-ambassadors
