Contact

• Outreachy Administrator: Onyinye Onifade and Sheila Karuku
• Reach out for general questions on the outreachy27 Zulip chat (preferred), after reading Outreach programs/Zulip.
• Read how to communicate effectively and get help on technical questions.

We encourage applicants to communicate in the public streams and refrain from sending private emails/messages whenever possible. Open communication allows fellow applicants to learn from your questions. It also gives all community members a chance to answer your queries. This way, queries get answered sooner and the administrators do not become a bottleneck. Also see our communication tips.
