Blog Post for Week 8

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 and we are midway through this program

Things I learned this week

This week I worked on the “Metric” page and refactored the “Metric Release” page. Though I had better understanding of the metrics while I was surfing around the CHAOSS but this week gave me the better chance to understand the things better and it was important too as metrics are the core of the CHAOSS community.

I got to learn the processes that one needs to follow in order to release their metric ad make it visible on the CHAOSS website. I also understood the regular releases and the way CHAOSS metric committee reviews them.
