Hello colleagues, The Wikimedia Foundation's Contributor teams are migrating the Newcomer homepage <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Growth/Personalized_first_day/Newcomer_homepage> to a new experience called Home <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Home>. This page will evolve with users, introducing them to new personalized opportunities based on their interests, and helping them develop into experienced contributors.
In November 21-22 sessions of the Wikimedia Café, Kirsten Stoller <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:KStoller-WMF> (senior product manager, Growth) and Sam Walton <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Samwalton9_(WMF)> (senior product manager, Moderator Tools) will share an overview of this feature, plans for its future, and demos of interactive prototypes which we can explore together. A quote which I hope will inspire your attendance or at least good wishes, from Grace Hopper <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Hopper>: "The most important thing I've accomplished, other than building the compiler, is training young people. They come to me, you know, and say, 'Do you think we can do this?' I say, 'Try it.' And I back 'em up. They need that. I keep track of them as they get older and I stir 'em up at intervals so they don't forget to take chances." Attendees of the Café are encouraged to bring a favorite beverage. (In the eternal words of Captain Picard <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Luc_Picard>, "Tea, Earl Grey, hot.") The times of the two Café sessions this month will be 21 November at 16:00 UTC for Session A <https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1795276800> and 22 November at 04:00 UTC for session B <https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1795320000>. Please use these links to convert the UTC times to your local times. Please see the Wikimedia Café <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Café> page for more information, including how to register! Pine🌲
