Google Season of Docs: CHAOSS Project under The Linux Foundation — Week 10
Introduction
👋Holla everyone!
I am Jaskirat Singh, an open-source research strategist, and tech diversity community management specialist, developing new and improving existing, computer-based technologies, systems, and solutions in advanced open source ecosystems. I have been working quite a while with various communities in the open-source, helping them maintain good relationships with external communities and projects, organizing meetups and events generating FOSS ecosystem, supporting the community in the outreach, creation of tools, and process with good relationships.
I hold great experience in mentorship spends most of the mine time mentoring and administrating young-minded people across the globe such as an administrator in Google Summer of Code and in Google Code-In for Terasology Foundation(Codeuino), Google Season of Docs Administrator for Open Collective, Mentor at Rails Girls Summer of Code and MLH League Summer program and recently administrating for Codeuino Mentorship project under The Linux Foundation CommunityBridge mentorship platform
I help organizations understand, use, release, and contribute to free and open-source software in a way that’s good for both their end-users and for the community.
Exciting news! I am in my last month's phase of the Google Season of Docs program working on a CHAOSS Project under The Linux Foundation.
Things I learned this week
This week was one of the exciting weeks for me because this week I had the pleasure to interview some of the great people in open-source who are working with the CHAOSS project to know the CHAOSS History better.
Kate Stewart (Sr. Director of Strategic Programs, The Linux Foundation), Dawn Foster (Director of Open Source Community Strategy, VMware), Georg Link (Director of Sales, Bitergia and Co-Founder CHAOSS), Daniel Izquierdo Cortázar, (Co-Founder of Bitergia), and Luis Cañas Díaz (Co-Founder of Bitergia).
I tried understanding the CHAOSS history evolution with the Linux Foundation and the Bitergia.
Below are a few glimpse/snapshots from the call. You might find me sitting at the same place with changed dresses. haha
It was really fun connecting with all and know about the CHAOSS project.
