Interview
summary
Volunteer development coordinator at the Wikimedia Foundation summarizes a quick MS-based framework called learn tech management in 45 minutes and explains concrete ways projects actually get contributors: a matching pipeline like OpenHatch, curriculum and professor training (posse) to teach open source from day one, and mentorship programs such as the GNOME Outreach Program for Women. Emphasis lands on implementation details — who to recruit, what work to ask for, how to remove onboarding friction, and examples of outreach that scale.
