Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] [Internal-l] Community Fellowships open call
Well, is on the page: *A fellowship is a temporary position at the Wikimedia Foundation in order to work on a specific project or set of projects. Fellowships can be awarded for periods as short as 2 months and as long as 12 months. Duration is determined by the scope of the fellow's project.* Being a Community Fellow means that your project falls into the Community Department of WMF. In a nutshell: If anyone wants to apply for, they need a project to help the community (not necessary to be the Global one) until 15 Jan and this project need to be approved by WMF. _ *Béria Lima* http://wikimedia.pt/(351) 925 171 484 *Imagine um mundo onde é dada a qualquer pessoa a possibilidade de ter livre acesso ao somatório de todo o conhecimento humano.
