Hi Roy,
Thank you for your interest! Your background sounds great. I like Django
too, but think it may be overkill for this particular project. Nothing is
set in stone, though, and I appreciate suggestions on the tech stack we end
up going with. A few other people have expressed interest too, so I will
give it a few days and get back to everybody early next week. If you have
any questions in the meantime, please let me know.

Hi. I might be interested. I'm expert in Python,
and have some
experience with Flask. I'm the author of spi-tools
<https://github.com/roysmith/spi-tools>, which was done in Django, but
I've come around to thinking that Flask probably would have been a better
choice.
I have minimal front-end / javascript skills, but wouldn't mind getting
some exposure to Vue.js.

Hello all,
I am looking for someone to join me as a co-mentor for the Outreachy 2022
December cohort. I’m a former Outreachy intern and currently working as a
software engineer with the Technical Engagement team at WMF.
The project is detailed in this Phabricator task[0]. It will be a web app
similar to the tool Citation Hunt[1]. If you have some experience
developing web applications, this could be a good opportunity to get
involved on the mentoring side. You don’t have to know everything, as long
as you have sufficient skills in either frontend, backend, or design. New
mentors are welcome!
The time commitment is around 5h/week from December to March, and during
the contribution and applicant selection phase in October.
You are welcome to email me with any questions, or ask them directly in
this thread.
Also, if you aren’t interested yourself but know someone who might be,
please spread the word <3
Thanks,
Slavina

Hello everyone,
Wikimedia is participating in the winter edition of this year's Outreachy
<https://www.outreachy.org/> [1] (December 2022–March 2023)! The
deadline to submit projects on the Outreachy website is September 30th,
2022. We are currently working on a list of interesting project ideas. If
you have some ideas for coding or non-coding (design, documentation,
translation, outreach, research) projects, share them here: <
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T313361> [2].
*About the Outreachy program*
Outreachy offers three-month internships to work remotely in Free and
Open Source Software (FOSS), coding, and non-coding projects with
experienced mentors. These internships run twice a year–from May to August
and December to March. Interns are paid a stipend of USD 7000 for the three
months of work. Interns often find employment after their internship with
Outreachy sponsors or jobs that use the skills they learned during their
internship. This program is open to both students and non-students.
Outreachy expressly invites the following people to apply:
* Women (both cis and trans), trans men, and genderqueer people.
* Anyone who faces under-representation, systematic bias, or
discrimination in the technology industry in their country of residence.
* Residents and nationals of the United States of any gender who are
Black/African American, Hispanic/Latinx, Native American/American Indian,
Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander.
See a blog post highlighting the experiences and outcomes of interns who
participated in a previous round of Outreachy with Wikimedia <

*Tips for mentors for proposing projects*
* Follow this task description template when you propose a project in
Phabricator: <
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/outreach-programs-projects> [4].
Add #Outreachy-Round-25 tag.
* Project should require an experienced developer ~15 days and a newcomer
~3 months to complete.
* Each project should have at least two mentors, with one of them holding
a technical background.
* Ideally, the project has no tight deadlines, a moderate learning curve,
and fewer dependencies on Wikimedia's core infrastructure. Projects
addressing the needs of a language community are most welcome.
* If you don't have an idea in mind and would like to pick one from an
existing list, check out these projects: <
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/outreach-programs-projects/> [4]
* To learn more about the roles and responsibilities of mentors, visit
our resources on
MediaWiki.org: <

We look forward to your participation!
Cheers,
Srishti
