| + | Merri-bek Tech Winter Volunteer Cohort | ||
| + | |||
| + | Learn the technical skills of web server operation for free, while helping with our mission to support local community groups, decrease climate emissions, and provide local resilience. | ||
| + | |||
| + | This winter, a group of volunteers will have the chance to participate in a free three-month program with local non-profit, Merri-bek Tech. To forward our goal of building local resilience for grass-roots and climate-ready tech infrastructure, | ||
| + | |||
| + | The program consists of a weekly session, with some structured learning workshops and some mentored project time. At the end of the program, volunteers will have had a chance to work on group projects that support independent web hosting at a local neighbourhood house. The theme of this cohort will be Wikipedia, and we'll be working on tools to support hosting our own local mirror of Wikipedia, that is accessible even during a power outage. | ||
| + | |||
| + | As part of this, each volunteer will learn or practice skills including: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Using the [[https:// | ||
| + | * Command line Linux | ||
| + | * Web server basics | ||
| + | * Networking basis | ||
| + | * Technical collaboration and project management | ||
| + | |||
| + | All equipment is provided, and help will be available from professionals with decades of experience in the industry. | ||
