Re: [Wikitech-l] Code of conduct
CA and legal are aware. While TOS or other more global polices are certainly an option I'm not actually sure that's the right move 'at the moment'. There is a lot of movement to look at options (which will include wide community discussion) and may lead in a direction like that but, in general, that is not a reason to delay implementation of processes like this which can, in fact, assist with the decision making and the tweaking. Once you've made a giant global policy tweaking it is really hard! Even when everyone agrees it needs it (and therefore the policy ends up being less and less enforced even where it should be). Yes a global policy would have a wide consultation or RfC type discussion before being but that's not the only thing we NEED here in order to get something that works. We need to see it in ACTION and be able to see what works and what doesn't work.

[Wikitech-l] Office Hours with VPE Damon Sicore - 9 October 2014 20:00 UTC / 13:00 PDT
Hi everyone, As our new Vice President of Engineering, Damon Sicore, just announced in his longer email to Wikimedia-l he will be having his first IRC Office hours on Thursday, October 9th, at 20:00 UTC (13:00 PDT). This hour long office hour is a chance to meet the new VPE and ask your burning questions. The office hour will be held in #Wikimedia-office on the Freenode network. You can find information on how to get online, including a link to a webchat option if you don't have an IRC client, on the meta office hours page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC_office_hours#How_to_participate. You can also find a time converter for the start of the hour at http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?hour=20min=00sec=0day=09month=10year=2014 . Like most of our public office hours this one will be publicly logged and should be posted on the meta office hour page shortly after it's conclusion. If you want to know you more about Damon you can read the Wikimedia Blog announcement https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/09/29/damon-sicore-joins-wmf-as-vice-president-of-engineering/ or check out his personal blog http://damon.sicore.com.

The bad use case for here (as describe by Risker for example) is a mainland china user from zhWiki logging in (through http) but now not being able to visit enWiki logged in at all (because it will force them to https and https is blocked). I know Ryan used the term 'home wiki' some up in his emails. My interpretation when reading the thread was that it actually meant the wiki you were logging into (which I think is fine) and not the 'home' wiki that is marked in the CentralAuth interface (though I can't figure out where that's actually marked in the database...). If we are using that 'CentralAuth' definition we're going to have a lot of false negatives, a significant amount of people are marked off as their home being enWiki or somewhere else because it was the first place they created an account.

Over time, Jenkins has become a very powerful hub for automated testing and deployment, and most serious software projects integrate with Jenkins via plugins.

[Wikitech-l] GSOC 2012: Mentees interested in the 'Who's been awesome' proposal and mentors still looking for help
Hey everyone, I've had an awful lot of interest in the Who's Been Awesome/Get merchandise to reward the community extension I proposed and we can only really take one in the end so I wanted to make sure that everyone knew the score and mentors still looking for help could chime in and let us know. There has been 8 or 9 people ask about the project and we have 1, almost full, proposal so far. Part of that has been me being slow in responding but if you're interested I encourage you to either submit a proposal soon or look at other options (or both!) so that we can get as many people in a possible! If you are still waiting for answers from me or you have other questions feel free to shoot me an email and I'll be setting time aside tomorrow (bed soon) to go through them all. Other mentors if you're still looking for help please let us know so that we can get as many of these great candidates as possible!

Jeremy’s focus area will be Fundraising. He will be joining Arthur Richards, Ryan Kaldari and Katie Horn on the Fundraising engineering team to help make this year’s fundraising drive successful. Jeremy Postlethwaite has been a developer since 1996. He has been a baker, a candy maker, a chef and a zymurgist. Fascinated with technology, Jeremy has developed robotics, worked on nuclear energy devices, such as the Z-machine, in conjunction with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratory. While working at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), he developed code to model plasmas in atomic physics. Jeremy is also interested in artificial intelligence and is developing code in this area. Jeremy tries to be an environmentalist and a humanitarian. And in doing so, he tries to live by the words of the late and great sophist, George Carlin, “If you think there is a solution, you are part of the problem.” This helps to keep him on level ground! In times of frustration, he tries to remember what Socrates said, “knowledge is recollection,” meaning all the answers already exist, but it is our duty to find them. Jeremy also tries to remember that not all problems in the world can be solved with a computer program. He is happiest when developing applications on his computer, researching quantum mechanics and fusion technology or best of all, camping in the redwoods with his wife, of almost nine years, Christi and his three children: Marissa, Jeremiah and Isaac. He has contributed several thousand hours to Open Source projects, including personal endeavors, helping others to use technology and working on Zend Framework. Jeremy does not own a television, but has several computers. He wishes he had more time to read. Jeremy’s biggest problem with being human is that he has to sleep.

HTH,

Thank you very much Mark, trying to track this down.
Interestingly none of our running banners had plainlinks running and
only 1 of them uses span tags (But without the class and closed right
after the text). We could definitely remove those tags, they aren't
really needed anymore but it doesn't appear to care which banner is
showing :-/ (in the US that banner is running at 5% and on English
projects without category 1 chapters it isn't running at all).
I removed the span tags
http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Centralnotice-template-2010_JA1_Banner3diff=prevoldid=672
but I'm not sure those were the issue...
I did find a piece in our common style that someone added a couple
months ago to fix a problem we had with all our text banners.
/* Suppress lock icon for secure links */
#content a[href^=https://;], .link-https {
background-image: none !important;
padding: 0 !important;
}
I removed it (
http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Centralnotice-shared-common-style-2010diff=664oldid=2220896
) since we don't have any banners that need it and it was the closest we
had... However the banner cache is clear at this point and I'm still
getting the problem on Wikibooks.
I'm poking through the code to try and find what it could be. Do you
remember where in the css you saw the open plainlinks span?
