User:Qgil-WMF/Old

Hi!

I'm technical contributor coordinator at the Wikimedia Foundation - see wmf:User:QGil and the complimentary disclaimer.

For what is worth, I'm also a humble content contributor to various Wikimedia projects - see w:User:Qgil & w:User:QuimGil.

Task list
If it's not scalable, then it needs to be cloneable.

Regular tasks

 * Volunteer coordination and outreach e.g. directing potential contributors to good destinations.
 * MediaWiki activity in Social media channels and coordination with Wikimedia Social Media team.
 * Support to MediaWiki groups, also hepping the Wikimedia Affiliations Committee reviewing new proposals.
 * Wikimedia org admin at Outreach Program for Women and other mentorship programs.
 * Community metrics monthly reports.

Current 3 priorities

 * 1) Proposal for automated community metrics implemented by a contractor.
 * 2) Blog post about start of Google Summer of Code and Outreach Program for Women Round 6.
 * 3) Browser test automation workshop in San Francisco (June 27)
