Best, Sheila & Lani (Wikimedia Org Admins for Outreachy Round 31) ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Sheila Wangari <swangari-...@wikimedia.org> Date: Thu, Sep 18, 2025 at 4:14 PM Subject: [Wikitech-l] Call for Projects and mentors for Outreachy Round 31! To: <wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org>, <wikimedi...@lists.wikimedia.org>, < wikid...@lists.wikimedia.org> Cc: Amanda Bittaker <abitta...@wikimedia.org>, Onyinyechi Onifade < oonif...@wikimedia.org> Hello Everyone, TLDR: Wikimedia is participating in the Outreachy Round 31 internship program <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Round_31> [1]. Outreachy's goal is to support people from groups underrepresented in the technology industry. Interns will work remotely with mentors from our community. We are seeking mentors to propose projects that Outreachy interns can work on during their internship. If you have some ideas for coding or non-coding (design, documentation, translation, outreach, research) projects, share them by Sept. 26, 2025, at 4 pm UTC < https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T403210 > [2] Program Timeline As a mentor, you engage potential candidates in the application period between October–November (winter round) and help them make small contributions to your project. You work more closely with the accepted candidates (interns) during the internship period between December–March (winter round). Important dates are: - September 26th, 2025, at 4 pm UTC - Project submission deadline <https://www.outreachy.org/communities/cfp/wikimedia/> - October 8, 2025 - Contribution period begins. - November 3, 2025 - Contribution period ends. *Guidelines for crafting project proposals * - Follow this task description template when you propose a project in Phabricator: < https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/outreach-programs-projects/> Add #Outreachy (Round 31) tag. - The project should require an experienced developer~15 days, and a newcomer, 3 months to complete. - Each project should have at least two mentors, including one with 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. Learn more about the roles and responsibilities of mentors on MediaWiki.org: <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Mentors> [4][5] Cheers, Sheila & Lani (Wikimedia Org Admins for Outreachy Round 31) [1] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Round_31 [2] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T403210 [3] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/outreach-programs-projects/ [4] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Mentors [5] https://www.outreachy.org/mentor/mentor-faq/
