Fwd: [Wikimedia-l] [fellowship] Opportunity for people working on "open projects that support a healthy Internet."

Forwarding. Pine ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Melody Kramer <mkramer(a)wikimedia.org> Date: Mon, Jul 10, 2017 at 2:26 PM Subject: [Wikimedia-l] [fellowship] Opportunity for people working on "open projects that support a healthy Internet." To: wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Hi all, I wanted to pass along an opportunity that I saw earlier today via Twitter: https://medium.com/read-write-participate/work-in-the-open- with-mozilla-1410be0a83b2 It sets up people working on "open projects that support a healthy Internet" with a mentor, a cohort of like-minded people from all over the world, and a trip to Mozfest, which is a London-based open Internet conference I've attended/presented at in past years and found really mind-expanding due to the cross-disciplinary conversations that take place. You can see previous projects here: https://mozilla.github. io/leadership-training/round-3/projects/ — it looks like there's quite a broad cross-section and many of the projects across the movement might be applicable. The post notes participants will learn about "best practices for project setup and communication, tools for collaboration, community building, and running events." Thank you to Leila for suggesting I pass this along to this listserv. Feel free to share it broadly. - Mel -- Melody Kramer <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:MKramer_(WMF)> Senior Audience Development Manager Read a random featured article from Wikipedia! <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:RandomInCategory/Featured_articles> mkramer(a)wikimedia.org _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/ wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/ wiki/Wikimedia-l New messages to: Wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
