Subject: [WikimediaIndia-l] Role of Communications and community
coordinator for Wikimedia funded project: 'Enhancing Indic Oral Culture on
Wikimedia projects'
To: <wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hello everyone!
I am writing to inform you about a job opportunity in a Wikimedia funded
project for the role of communications and community coordinator. For
context, the project 'Enhancing Indic Oral Culture on Wikimedia projects
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Programs/Wikimedia_Community_Fund/Ge…>'
aims to innovate in the field of oral culture documentation in the South
Asian region. Apart from training citizen archivists to document oral
culture and its application on various Wikimedia projects, this project
will also focus on exploring reuse of the documented content and
collaboration with similarly inclined institutions.
It is a part-time, hybrid (mostly remote) position for applicants within
India. Excellent communication skills and familiarity with the Wikimedia
movement and projects is desirable in applicants.
Please find more details in the PDF attached to this email. Request you to
also share with prospective applicants in your network.
Thanks and regards,
Amrit Sufi
