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
