Hello,
I would love to volunteer, is there any particular task to do??
We are bootstrapping the event, and there are two immediate tasks where
everyone's help is welcome:
BRAINSTORMING MAIN TOPICS
Do you have specific proposals for the (say) five main Summit topics that
should be selected? Can you help spreading this question to your contacts
and the venues in our technical community where you are active? All the
suggestions are being collected at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:Tb6bztglijowk8x3.
For instance, you have gone through a Google Summer of Code project, and
right now you possess a very valuable experience that others haven't
acquired yet, or have forgotten about: the experience of a new developer
dealing for the first time with our collaboration processes, our developer
environment, our documentation, and the people and behaviors in our
community. Your ideas about which main topic should the Summit address are
interesting, and your help spreading the word among other GSoC students,
mentors, and newcomers in general is very important.
Other people reading these lines can apply the same idea to their own case.
Whatever is your background and areas of interest, your perspective and
influence in the definition of the Summit is welcome.
SUMMIT LANDING PAGE
We could use some help on the Summit landing page and related pages. See
Wikimedia Developer Summit Wiki up
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T141935
Until now we have got functional wiki pages for Summit participants but no
focus in outreach through those wiki pages at all. Many things could be
done in theory, but what can we realistically do here and now, with the
hands we have? See you in the task?
