Outreach programs/pt

Wikimedia's technical community participates in several outreach programs. This helps new contributors join Wikimedia technical projects, it spreads knowledge about the movement to bigger and more diverse audiences, and it gives contributors an opportunity to mentor newcomers.

Wikimedia Foundation's Developer Advocacy team coordinates participation in these outreach programs.
