Developer Advocacy/bn

The Developer Advocacy team is a sub team of the Technical Engagement team. The Developer Advocacy team supports the technical communities who use Wikimedia web APIs and software projects to spread and improve free knowledge. They collaborate with teams in the Wikimedia Foundation, the larger Wikimedia movement, and external organizations to promote the use of the Wikimedia platforms via documentation, sample code, libraries, articles, and reference applications. The team also supports programs to actively recruit and mentor new technical contributors who will become the next generation of Foundation staff and FLOSS project maintainers. Our primary focus is to help the developer community build and scale successful projects using Wikimedia technology. We encourage them to contribute to our free and open source projects as a way to achieve their own goals.

Planning
You can follow our work and get involved. Contributors of all disciplines and skill levels are welcome!

We mainly use for planning work. You can find our workboard at tag/developer-advocacy/.

Every significant task that doesn't belong to a regular workflow needs to have its own Phabricator task associated to the team project.

Our Phabricator workboard columns have the following meaning:


 * To Triage: New tasks are placed automatically in this column. Then we move them to the column that seems more appropriate. Such moving can be done by anyone in the team. If the task does not seem trivial, it is to be brought up in our team meeting as a routine. Ignore the "Priority" value of a task in this column, as it might be the Priority of another team.
 * Backlog: We have looked at tasks in this column. Tasks here could be assigned to a team member but we rather want to avoid cookie licking. If it is likely that we soon want to work on a task, we might give that task a higher priority or even move it to a quarterly column.
 * Team radar: Tasks that are interesting to us but we do not work on and do not drive these tasks. Hence we do not close these tasks but only remove our team project tag if at all.
 * Quarterly: Tasks we plan to work on in this quarter. Tasks should have an assignee.

Quarterly goals
We follow the process for defining quarterly goals used at Wikimedia Technology/Goals.

See the "Technical Engagement" section in the corresponding quarter linked on Wikimedia Technology/Goals.

For historical goals, see below.

Also see the corresponding quarterly columns on our Phabricator workboard.

যোগাযোগ
You can contact the entire team
 * by adding a comment on the Discussion page of this very page, or
 * by creating a task in Phabricator under tag/developer-advocacy/ if you are sure that we are the correct team for a specific task.

To contact individual team members, see the contact information on the individual user pages (linked above).

ঐতিহাসিক ডেটা
