Re: [Wikitech-l] Timing of ArchCom meetings

[Pine W]

Hi Rob,

The US Wikimedians schedule our monthly online meetings via Doodle. The
habit is that there is a monthly meeting scheduled the same way every
month, although the days and times of meetings may vary.

This system has its own weaknesses but for our purposes it is working okay.

HTH,

Pine

[Wikitech-l] Timing of ArchCom meetings

[Rob Lanphier]

Hi folks,

The thing that's been great about having ArchCom meetings at the same
time and place has been that we've been able to make a habit out of
having them.  Because we're a global movement, there's never a good
time for anyone, but the time we typically schedule for these was the
best compromise we found for the ArchCom members.

The time of the meeting: Wednesday 2pm Pacific Time, which translates to:
*  23 CET/CEST most weeks
*  21 UTC during U.S. daylight savings time (northern hemisphere spring/summer)
*  22 UTC during U.S. standard time (the northern hemisphere fall/winter)
*  Possible confusion for people outside the U.S. when the time doesn't align

The time seems to work well enough for ArchCom (the last time I
asked).  However, just because the time works for ArchCom members,
doesn't mean it works for everyone in the world (and these are public
meetings open to everyone).  There have been suggestions that we
rotate the timing of these.  The challenge of that is that rotating
meetings are a lot harder to make a habit out of.

My preference would be that we add additional times, keeping the
current Wednesday time as the "main" meeting, but that we have adjunct
meetings at different times with different target attendees.  The

I'd be willing to facilitate multiple times (including times that suck
for me personally), but another aspect that I'm hoping for is that the
shepherds assigned to the ArchCom-RFC facilitates whatever meetings
necessary to move things along.

Thoughts?
Rob

Re: [Wikitech-l] Looking for WikiDev Summit main topics and volunteers

[Mathieu Stumpf Guntz]

Hi Quim and everyone on the list,

One of my spare time project is to "translate" programming languages to
Esperanto. I already achieved a Javascript translation within the
Babylscript project . Currently I'm working
on a translation of Lua . I chose
Lua because I wish I was able to code in (somewhat) plain Esperanto when
writing Scribunto modules on Esperanto Wikimedia projects.

So, I would be happy to know opinions of other developers about such a
project, and even more important, what steps would you see as necessary
to make it possible. Would that be a project interesting for a Wikimedia
Developer Summit?

Kind regards,
mathieu
