The page on "Women & gender issues" Task Force of WikiProject India was
created in Feb 2012. Thanks to a few editors, this page is now "start"
class ;) rather than stub.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_India/Women_and_gender_i…
This is an appropriate time to request all those WikiProject India members
who participated in the Women's Day editathon to kindly enlist for this
task force.
We are also looking for a Volunteer coordinator (feminine volunteer
preferable) as the first volunteer coordinator for this task Force. The
volunteer coordinator's job is to coordinate editing efforts, encourage
editors and carry out housekeeping and general tender loving care of the
articles under the aegis of the task force.
The current list of articles under the TF can be found here :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:WikiProject_Indian_women_and_gender_i…
Needless to say, we expect the volunteer coordinator to cooperate with
Rohini Lakshane, the newly elected SIG of the Women's Issues for the Wikimedia
India chapter.
One may volunteer for this post by replying on this thread. Hoping to find
many members enlisting for the TF and volunteers for the post of
coordinator!
Warm regards,
AshLin

Dear all,
The Wikimedia Foundation will be participating as a mentoring
organization in the upcoming round of Outreach Program for
Women<https://live.gnome.org/OutreachProgramForWomen/2013/JuneSeptember/SpreadThe…>.
Two out of the six
women<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_Program_for_Women>who
qualified for the internship during the last round were Indians.
Hoping
to see many Indian women qualify for the mentorship this time!

Subject: [Gendergap] please spread the word about Wikimedia's paid open
source internships for women
To: gendergap(a)lists.wikimedia.org
https://live.gnome.org/OutreachProgramForWomen/2013/JuneSeptember/SpreadThe…
We'll be participating as a mentoring organization in the upcoming
round. The interns who are just finishing up their current round with
us: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_Program_for_Women
Some key points:
* USD$5000 for 3 months of full-time work
* can work remotely from anywhere
* doesn't have to be coding; documentation, testing, systems
administration, marketing, and design are also possible
* newbies to open source are welcome
* applicants don't have to be students
* trans women and genderqueer/genderfluid folks are welcome
* applicants should START NOW since applications are collaborative!
If you know a motivated woman who has never worked in technology before,
who's a good communicator and a diligent worker, and whose career is
stagnating, this is the PERFECT opportunity for her to cross-train and
start on a new, more lucrative path! Please spread the word.
