Google Season of Docs: CHAOSS Project under The Linux Foundation — Week 5
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 a 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 working within the Google Season of Docs program on a CHAOSS Project under The Linux Foundation.
Things I learned this week
This week I worked on the mentorship programs that CHAOSS participates. Google Summer of Code, Google Season of Docs, and Outreachy are the programs in which the CHAOSS community participates.
Though I have already served as a mentor in these programs after spending 1 week in understanding and writing about these mentorship programs I got to know about roles and responsibilities in the fairway.
I explained the pages in the form of “Involving as a Student” and “Involving as a Mentor”. Check out “Google Summer of Code”, “Google Season of Docs”, and “Outreachy”
