Re: [Wikitech-l] Wikimedia service interruptions; phab task https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T232224
Thanks very much to those who worked on this problem. I'm hoping to see a public report with more technical and legal info than has been published so far. I think that such a report is not urgent, but it would be nice to have the report available by the end of next week, which would allow plenty of time for reference and commentary in the September issue of *The Signpost*.

[Wikitech-l] The Community Insights survey (for volunteer devs)
Hey folks, I'm helping Rebecca Maung (rma...@wikimedia.org) distribute this request. Her words below: The Wikimedia Foundation is asking for your feedback in the annual Community Insights survey. We want to know how well we are supporting your work on- and off-wiki, and how we can change or improve things in the future. The opinions you share will directly affect the current and future work of the Wikimedia Foundation. If you are a volunteer developer, and have contributed code to any pieces of MediaWiki, gadgets, or tools, please complete the survey. It is available in various languages and will take between 15 and 25 minutes to complete. Follow this link to the survey: https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0pSrrkJAKVRXPpj?Target=dev If you have seen a similar message elsewhere and have already taken the Community Insights survey, please do not take it twice. You can find more information about this survey on the project page and see how your feedback helps the Wikimedia Foundation support contributors like you. This survey is hosted by a third-party service and governed by this privacy statement. Please visit our frequently asked questions page to find more information about this survey. If you need additional help, send an email to surv...@wikimedia.org.

[Wikitech-l] Prepare your small tasks to mentor a new contributor! (Google Code-in early heads-up)
(Note: This is only an early heads-up, to be prepared. Google Code-in has NOT been announced yet, but last year, GCI mentors asked for more time in advance to identify tasks to mentor. Here you are. :) * You have small, self-contained bugs you'd like to see fixed? * Your documentation needs specific improvements? * Your user interface has some smaller design issues? * Your Outreachy/Summer of Code project welcomes small tweaks? * You'd enjoy helping someone port your template to Lua? * Your gadget code uses some deprecated API calls? * You have tasks in mind that welcome some research? Google Code-in (GCI) is an annual contest for 13-17 year old students. GCI 2019 has not yet been announced but usually takes place from late October to December. It is not only about coding: We also need tasks about design, docs, outreach/research, QA. Read https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in/Mentors , add your name to the mentors table, and start tagging tasks in Wikimedia Phabricator by adding the #gci-2019 project tag. We will need MANY mentors and MANY tasks, otherwise we cannot make it. Last year, 199 students successfully worked on 765 tasks supported by 39 mentors. For some achievements from the last round, see https://wikimediafoundation.org/news/2019/02/20/partnerships-make-it-possible-behind-our-role-in-google-code-in-2018/ Note that "beginner tasks" (e.g. "Set up Vagrant") and generic tasks are very welcome (like "Choose and replace 2 uses of Linker::link() from the list in T223010" style). We also have more than 400 unassigned open #good-first-bug tasks: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/3YnDUWYJfXSo/#R Can and would you mentor some of these tasks in your area? Please take a moment to find / update [Phabricator etc.] tasks in your project(s) which would take an experienced contributor 2-3 hours. Read https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in/Mentors , ask if you have any questions, and add your name to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in/2019#List_of_Wikimedia_mentors Thanks (as we will not be able to run this without your help), andre -- Andre Klapper (he/him) | Bugwrangler / Developer Advocate https://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/ ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
[Wikitech-l] Wednesday: Technical Advice IRC Meeting
Sorry for cross-posting! Reminder: Technical Advice IRC meeting this week **Wednesday 3-4 pm UTC** on #wikimedia-tech. Questions can be asked in English, Persian, Spanish! The Technical Advice IRC Meeting (TAIM) is a weekly support event for volunteer developers. Every Wednesday, two full-time developers are available to help you with all your questions about MediaWiki, gadgets, tools and more! This can be anything from "how to get started" over "who would be the best contact for X" to specific questions on your project. If you know already what you would like to discuss or ask, please add your topic to the next meeting: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Technical_Advice_IRC_Meeting Hope to see you there! -- Raz Shuty Engineering Manager Wikimedia Deutschland e.
