Hi, we are looking for volunteers willing to get involved in the organization of Wikimedia's participation in the upcoming round of Outreachy, a program to involve underrepresented communities in open source projects. https://www.gnome.org/outreachy/
Experienced org admins like Niharika Kohli, Andre Klapper and myself are looking forward to support new volunteers in this role. We also have a solid and reasonably well documented process in place helping the onboarding of new org admins, mentors, and interns. This is a good chance to grow your tech community management experience in a safe and supportive context, dedicating about 2-4 hours per week between October and February.
About half year ago, I asked for volunteers to become co-org-admins of the upcoming Google Summer of Code and Outreachy round. Niharika Kohli answered back, and she has been an amazing org admin since then. I'm not exaggerating when I say that her involvement has been one of the best things impacting my work this year. She has learned and enjoyed a lot, and she has been very helpful to the interns and mentors that are concluding their projects as we speak.
Interested? Just reply to this email or comment at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T112267
