Hi Everyone, It's time for *Wikimedia Tech Talks 2019* Episode 3! This month's talk will take place *April 24, 2019 at 18:00 UTC. *
*Topic: *Sharing global opportunities for new developers in the Wikimedia community *Speaker: *Sristhi Sethi, Developer Advocate, Wikimedia Foundation *Summary: *Wikimedia offers a plethora of opportunities for newcomers to get involved; however, as with many other free software projects, getting involved with the Wikimedia technical community can be a daunting prospect for newcomers. This talk is a gentle introduction to the Wikimedia ecosystem, and gives pointers on how to get involved as a volunteer. I will delve into the various ways newcomers can make successful contributions in areas ranging from design to documentation, from programming to testing, and much more.
