Hello everyone,
We hope you all are doing well and had a wonderful cross-over from the year
2017 to the year 2018. We'll use this opportunity to wish you all a happy
new year 2018 and hope that in this year, we all are going to collaborate
in an even more stronger way to make Africa and the world a better place
through programming and software development on MediaWiki and all other
interesting Wikimedia projects.
We'll also thank those who invested their efforts to volunteer for working
on bugs / tickets to solves issues related to projects in the Wikimedia
movement in various perspectives. Keep up the good work and hoping you keep
your volunteer hat on and be the change we need :) and for those who have
not yet engaged or engaged fully in the AWMD project's activities, we urge
you to make out time on a daily or weekly basis to contribute to projects
that touch/impact the life of people around the world in a positive way!
Not to take much of your time, we'll want to share again opportunities
about 2 upcoming conferences; Wiki Indaba 2018[1] and Wikimania 2018[2]
whose scholarships applications are already open, do apply and don't miss
it!
To round things up, do your best to put in even if it's 30mins - 1hour a
day as an African Wikimedia Developer on this project and let's together
work on making our skills better and create opportunities for ourselves as
the year 2018 goes on, you'll be surprised at the output of your work and
you won't regret doing it.
Thank you all for your time and have a splendid year 2018 and happy
hacking!!!

Hi all,
I'm an Outreachy <https://www.outreachy.org/alums/> intern and as a part of
the internship, I'm working on a project - WikiCV
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiCV>.
Through this project we (my mentors - Gergő Tisza and Stephen LaPorte and
I) want to create a contribution summarizing tool which (unlike the
existing ones that focus on statistics and are hard to interpret for
someone not familiar with Wikipedia editing) highlights contributions in an
easy-to-understand manner.
I'm writing this to gather inputs from prospective users of this tool, that
is all the Wikipedia editors!
Basically I want to understand what all things would you like to see in a
tool like this? Or what all would you write in your Wikipedia CV?
You can give in your inputs through mail (I'd be more than happy to get one
:)) or fill out this form <https://goo.gl/forms/slmOreey5iVPWzFx1>. My work
is largely dependent on your inputs, so please pour in your comments/views.
Your help will be quite appreciated!
Eagerly waiting for your inputs :)
Thanks,
Megha Sharma
Hello,

I am Zppix, I am a volunteer Developer for Wikimedia, I also am Google-code-in Mentor for 2017, and I have been an English Wikipedia Editor for 3 years! (Wow i need more stuff to do!)
Anyway, I am from United States, my timezone is UTC-6 (or during winter UTC-5) I help out with AWMD by being a mentor to anyone who needs one, I am also able to help you find your way around Wikimedia, or help you find a project that may interest you! If at anytime you want to talk with me I am usually always on IRC or you can contact me via email (enwp.org/Special:EmailUser/Zppix ) I look forward in the coming years to see this group expand into massive sizes! Thank you for your interest and contributions to the Wikimedia Movement! Happy Holidays!
