🎉 Outreachy Winter 2022: Applicants tasks/contributions: Improve the bilinguality and accessibility of website

[BatoolMM]

🎊 Welcome Outreachy 2022 Contributors! We're excited that you're here 🎉

This ticket will serve as the central point tracking the contributions of perspective Outreachy (Winter 2022 cohort) applicants.

Outreachy provides paid remote, three-month internships to support diversity in Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). For more information about what Outreachy is, follow this link.

Outreachy internships are:

💵 Paid - $7,000 USD total internship stipend

🌍 Remote - both interns and mentors work remotely

🕰 3 months - internships run May to August.

For those interested, this process is described here.

We ask all outreachy candidates to work on a minimum of 3 projects simultaneously so that they are not completely relying on their selection in OSCSA if we end up not selecting them!

Summary

Open Science community Saudi Arabia (OSCSA) was established in line with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, which focuses on installing values, enhancing knowledge and improving equal access to education. It aims to provide a place where newcomers and experienced peers interact, inspire each other to embed open science practices and values in their workflows and provide feedback on policies, infrastructures and support services. Our community is part of the International Network of Open Science & Scholarship Communities (INOSC).

Open Science has developed materials of its own and collaborated with other communities to ruse and localise their materials, but none of it is incorporated within the website. Our website is bilingual, so the pages added need to be reflected in both languages!

In Outreachy Winter 2022, we are accepting applicants to improve the accessibility of the website and incorporate existing materials into the website.

Successful candidates will:

• Refactor the code of the website.
• Improve the accessibility of the website.
• Incorporating the materials, talks, and events into the website.
• Links to our current projects (workshops, R Projects) on the website.
• Improve the documentation for the onboarding and off-borading and links it to the website.
• Add a testimonies section to the website
• Make our Quarto blog bilingual and link it to the main website.

How to start?

• Join OSCSA community here
• Go through the code of the Website and try to locally deploy it on your local machine.
• Any issue you opened should use the Outreachy template

Submission

• Submit PR with the new subpage
• Explain in your PR what you did and what do you think needs improving within the website?

Tasks for Intern Selection:

  • A summary of the concept that you choose from these sections (What is x (e.g. open access)?, Where can I read about (e.g. open access)?
  • Illustration (image explaining the concept) with alternative tag - you can find any image online!

• 2.2 Code of Conduct
  This will direct you to a new subpage with the code of conduct

Make sure it's reflected on both the Arabic and English pages.

You don't need to know Arabic; there will be another intern who will be helping with Arabic. but use Google translate for the demo and submit a PR.

Task 3 (This task is completed, please don't submit other PRs)

We need to add an events subpage where we can link our events in Zenodo.

@BatoolMM Can I still make contributions; I was off this project because my laptop crashed and it took me 2 weeks to fix it. I will love to know if I can still contribute. Thank you.

[ToobaJamal]

Hi @BatoolMM, what should we write in the Outreachy internship timeline?

[ladyami]

@ToobaJamal please how do you find the timeline page? I have been looking for it but I can not find it.

[ladyami]

@BatoolMM please can you give a list of ideas for final projects we can do for OSCSA since we are unable to get to the OSCSA public chat room most of us here don't know about the community well to be able to know what project the community might need.

[ToobaJamal]

@ToobaJamal please how do you find the timeline page? I have been looking for it but I can not find it.

@ladyami it's in the final application form. On the same page where you recorded your contributions

[BatoolMM]

Thank you all for your contributions so far. Don't worry if your PR isn't merged yet, still don't forget to add your contributions to Outreachy. In terms of the timeline, feel free to submit your your own timeline, this will not be taken into account during the selection process in OSCSA.

@ladyami In terms of what is the project that the selected intern will work on, it is the same as the tasks description. They will be working on developing the website, blog and MOOCs

Outside Outreachy, we are happy for your continued involvement in the Community and you are very welcome to continue to work on any of these issues after the contribution phase. All contributors will be acknowledged and added to the GitHub README and any talk presented by community members. OSCSA is alos happy to :

• Add a recommendation on the applicant's LinkedIn profile if they provided continued involvement with the Community
• Endorse you for skills on LinkedIn
• Coaching you on how to highlight their contributions on your resume
• We also happy to provide a reference or recommendation letter
• Thank you again for all your wonderful contribution so far 🌷!

[RealRichi3]

@BatoolMM thanks, i really appreciate it.
One question tho, for the coaching on how to highlight contributions on my resume, how will you go about it, will there be zoom session or something like that?

[BatoolMM]

In terms of coaching on how to highlight contributions on your resume, we are happy to offer 1-2-1 coaching, where you can send your resume to [email protected] - we will then provide feedback, either written or in an online session with the member.

[angeangoh]

Hello @BatoolMM please what am I supposed to do to have my profile too in the contribution section of the readme ? I did a pull request (#32) which is not yet reviewed for the second time (It has been reviewed once and I brought what have been requesting for). could the reason can be the fact my pr have not been merged ?

[BatoolMM]
