Thank you for the proposal. The actual URL is:

I'm going to leave most of my comments on the talk page, but I did want
to address one section of your proposal here: you changed "Past open
source experience" in the template to "Past development experience".
These are not the same thing, and although it is useful for us to know
about your past experience in developing closed-source software, we are
particularly interested in a candidate's past open source experience --
including filing bug reports, teaching other people how to use open
source, writing useful documentation, developing specifications and
designs, and contributing code.
If the answer to "Past open source experience" is "none, yet" then
that
is useful data for us to know as we review your proposal. Go ahead and
say that -- and then read advice to people new to open source
http://open-advice.org/ , complete the OpenHatch missions
http://openhatch.org/missions/ , and start contributing
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_contribute .
