Hello everyone,
We want to let you know about a new swag program for technical contributors
that the Wikimedia Foundation's Technical Engagement <
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Technical_Engagement> [1] team has
developed in collaboration with the Fundraising Operations <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising> [2] team. This program will
reward technical contributors for their active participation in outreach
programs, events, and software projects by giving swag.
This is a small token of appreciation for the countless efforts of our
technical contributors!
In the first year of its operation, the swag program considers 85
individuals with significant contributions as developers, mentors, and
organizers in 2021 for each of the following areas.
- Google Summer of Code & Outreachy
- Small wiki toolkits
- Gerrit code contributions
- Wikimedia & Wikimania Hackathon
To learn more about each of these areas and the overall program, visit <
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_tech_swag_program> [3]. If you
have any feedback or questions, or have suggestions around which areas to
cover, please share on the talk page.
Best,
Srishti
On behalf of Technical Engagement team
