It's hard to coordinate the meetup of people living around the world (both logistically and financially), so finding a way to bring the whole developer community together would be even better. I've mentioned this to a few people before, but the guys over at the Wikipedia Weekly podcast have talked to me several times about trying to coordinate a Developer's Podcast if you will. A chance for us to chat, answer questions, that sort of thing. I couldn't think of a better time to do one than during FOSDEM, Wikimania and/or a meetup in San Francisco. -Chad ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

So we have set up our own date time for a meeting that'll focus on mediawiki development. Anyway: FOSDEM is going to be a good place to be, and we will talk about mediawiki (Brion even gives a presentation), but we will have a barcamp-style developer event in april in berlin. Having both at FOSDEM would have been great, but we didn't get the room, so that's how it is. I hope scheduling our meet-up in berlin in parallel with the board chapter meetings will help to get people together. Also, the c-base is a great place to work and to party :) So I hope you'll all come and join us. Exactly how Barcamp-style is this meetup gonna be? Does it include the camping and stuff, or are we expected to sleep at hotels like at normal conventions? I'll come if it's affordable (still looking into train ticket prices), and if I do I'll prepare a presentation about the API. Maybe some of the more prominent people could comment on whether they'll come to Berlin? They don't just jump on a train to Berlin like us Dutchies and Germans do. Also, I'd be interested to hear which API developers intend to come, for obvious reasons.

Afaik, few bar camps involve actual camping :) There are loads of inexpesive hostely and modest hotels in the area. we'll put up some suggestions in a few days.

Afaik, few bar camps involve actual camping :) I had and still have no idea, just read the WP page. There are loads of inexpesive hostely and modest hotels in the area. we'll put up some suggestions in a few days. That'd be nice. I just found out about some stuff about train ticket prices, I'll put it up on the Meta page. And of course carpool arrangements can be made, circumstances permitting.

Hoi, Who says that the meet-up at FOSDEM will fail?? With people from the USA, the Netherlands, Finland, Germany and Great Britain arriving with MediaWiki on their mind, it can hardly be called a failed meet up. I am also quite sure that if you want to talk about MediaWiki localisation and internationalisation, this is the event for you. If you are interested in the extension testing environment, FOSDEM is where it will be publicly demonstrated. Thanks, GerardM 2009/1/19 Daniel Kinzler dan...@brightbyte.de Hello All I'm happy to announce the MediaWiki Developer Meet-Up will happen April 3.-5. in Berlin, at the c-base. The event is for everyone who works on MediaWiki, writes extensions, builds bots, writes scripts for the toolserver, or is otherwise interested in the technical aspects of Wikimedia. We are happy that we can now have the meet-up after our plans for 25C3 and FOSDEM failed. If you want to come to the Developer Meetup, please sign up at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Developer_meet-up_2009. The event will take place in parallel to the Wikimedia Foundation's board meeting and chapter meeting, so there will be a lot of Wikimedians in Berlin at the time. We plan to have a party to bring everyone together and give an opportunity for developers, board members and chapter people to mingle. The meet-up will be a loose BacCamp-like event so topics and schedule are largely up to you. The goal is to get to know new aspects of MediaWiki and Wikimedia and to develop ideas on how we can make things even better. And of course to have a lot of fun with wiki hackers from around the world! -- daniel ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
