Girls in Tech at Wikimedia: How to Use Open Source Projects in Your Job Search

Join us for a lightning talk on “How to Use Open Source Projects in Your Job Search” by Moriel Schottlender, Software Engineer at the Wikimedia Foundation. Moriel will give an introduction to open source projects, discuss the importance of open source projects in the job search, and how they can improve your chances of getting hired.

After the talk, attendees can work on their own coding projects and learn more about how to become a MediaWiki hacker and fix “annoying bugs”, little bugs and tiny missing features which annoy users, and which are relatively easy for a new MediaWiki coder to fix. These are a good way to start getting familiar with the MediaWiki code base. Wikimedia mentors will be happy to get you started on the path to becoming a contributor to MediaWiki. We look forward to seeing you all and learning about your various projects!
