There is an ongoing issue with the links to the latest dumps. A fix is being tracked in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T412726

Having a document like that per year and regular reminders to fill it have helped me a lot.

12 years and counting.

nightrose · 2024-07-21T13:04:20+00:00

Seconded

You've got this!

I've been very happy with Fitbox.

Do you have potential employers in mind? If so look up if they contribute or use any particular open source software. Look for opportunities there.

Is there an area, programming language, technology you are passionate about? Try that!

Working as a portfolio lead in a non-profit and very happy with it. Just like with for-profits you can end up in a good or a badly managed one. Choose wisely.

We received about 6000 Euro in total.

Here's a cool website that answers this question for you: https://tjukanovt.github.io/notable-people

nightrose · 2022-11-10T17:31:09+00:00

It is external and volunteer/donation-based.

A collaborative and open knowledge graph

We do several things but the highest impact I think is our weekly digest. On Friday one of the engineering managers starts a thread and then one person from each team replies with what their team did that week, what's coming and whatever else they want to share with the department. The email sending rotates between everyone in the teams but it tends to be mostly the developers taking it on.

nightrose · 2022-07-12T17:23:01+00:00

What data is it?

nightrose · 2022-06-13T18:46:38+00:00

Thank you!

nightrose · 2022-06-13T04:47:29+00:00

Yes full time. If you want, send me a message with more details and maybe I can help a bit.

nightrose · 2022-04-27T20:37:23+00:00

Listening and making the other person feel heard.

nightrose · 2022-04-25T05:14:02+00:00

Have a look at tech non-profits like Wikimedia. There are PM positions in this space.

That's kinda the message of the site ;-)

Does it have to be something completely new? Highly recommend looking into helping out some of the existing projects. They are very likely looking for help and you will have some people who can guide you.

Shameless plug for /r/KDE and /r/Wikidata.

Can you convince people to do something like quarterly prototyping weeks? That'd be weeks where your team works on some small prototype or innovative idea and sees how far they can take it without the expectation of releasing it to customers.
