👋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 was one of the exciting and interesting week for me as I got to learn about the Design flows and principles. I can see that Google Season of Docs is helping me understand various things in different fields and that is why I am love with Google Season of Docs.
This week I worked on the Design Workflows, Design Contribution, and CHAOSS Visual Identity. This task helped me to grab the knowledge of the CHAOSS community in design. I had a good time researching around processes and workflows that could help any newcomer who is looking forward to making their contribution to the design field under the CHAOSS community.
The interesting fact that I was able to understand the basic principles that are required to solve any design problem. So I had a privilege to write the ways of achieving the design problem in various ways.
Another thing is that while learning the design I had designed for the page too. Below is the image I designed
