Outreachy: Difference between revisions

"This internship will be focused on content migration, content management, and multimedia content creation for a large complex website built in Drupal 8.  

The Developer Relations team is building a site that speaks to developers, designers, and all those who build the Web. This project serves many goals: to update and modernize our blog, Mozilla Hacks (hacks.mozilla.org), and our Mozhacks YouTube channel; to aggregate and share valuable content that is now spread across a host of websites and Mozilla wikis; to raise awareness of the DevRel team and all the Mozillians who do outreach and advocacy with people around the world who build the web; and to make it easy for a visitor to discover all the ways Mozilla interacts with developers, designers, technologists.  

You will help build out and maintain the new website over the course of our launch. Deliverables will be very tactical with many hours focused on manual migration of content.  In addition, there will be great opportunities to participate in content and asset creation for the new site.  

The DevRel website showcases some of the key technologies being built by the Emerging Technologies group and evangelized by the DevRel team. The site will support many types of current and evergreen content: articles, videos, presentations, demos, events, and more, as well as profile pages for staff and contributors.  

We think it's a great opportunity for someone seeking 'real-world' experience in technical communications and media creation for the developer community. You will gain in-depth, hands-on content management experience. Develop and amplify your skills as an editor, technical communicator, and media creator, while working with our diverse geo-distributed team of developer and designer advocates.  

You’re a strong fit for this role if you have basic experience and familiarity with online publishing in a variety of media formats. We don’t need you to be a coder, but working knowledge of HTML, and familiarity with WordPress, Drupal, or other content management systems and media creation tools are desirable. Please be detail-oriented, comfortable in written and spoken English. As a site editor/content manager, we’ll ask you to help others set up accounts and load their content.  

Someone with skills to create demos in HTML, CSS, or to make videos is a plus. Javascript or Drupal site building skills an additional plus.
