[edit status] • [add new]2013-04-monthly:Quim Gil refactored the radical Wikitech contributors proposal into the more gradual Project:New contributors based on the feedback received. He supported QA and bug management events, organized a tech talk for 3 tech projects receiving Wikimedia grants, and completed the survey about best times for volunteering (which got 33 answers). He spoke at the Bay Area Linux User Group with Daniel Zahn, Rob Lanphier and Brian Wolff, and requested a proposal from Bitergia to automate the generation of Community metrics.
