Subject: [Wikitech-l] Call for tech projects needing contributors
To: Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l at lists.wikimedia.org>
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.
