Hello,
Silicon Valley Data Science, my employer, is considering letting employees volunteer for the WMF engineering projects on work time. After meeting and speaking with WMF employee Dan Andreescu, it appears that each volunteer will need to sign an NDA.
Would it be possible to see the agreement we would be asked to sign? Specifically, I'd like to provide one of our senior managers with a copy of the "Trusted Volunteer Confidentiality Agreement" (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/L2), for review.
Background
After taking a look around and informally consulting with a few WMF employees, it looks like we would be able to help with work the Analytics team is engaged in (ETL, Event streams, Hadoop wrangling, etc.). Initially, we'll look for a few tickets to test the waters--to get a feel what an external collaboration would feel like,
become familiar with the WMF ecosystem, and generally ensure that we're not doing more harm than good. If that goes well, we would like to have individuals (or very small teams) engaged on WMF projects as they roll off of client work for SVDS.
Kind Regards,
Gary Dusbabek
