Here is your weekly dose of deployment highlights!

Full schedule always available at:
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments

Next week's:
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments#Week_of_August_19th

Highlights below...

== Monday ==
* We'll be enabling Ceph on production. Ceph is used for storage of
  media files (eg: images, videos, etc). More (very detailed)
  information about this can be found at:
  https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Ceph
* We'll be deploying OAuth to the set of test wikis (test.wikipedia,
  test2.wikipedia, mediawiki.org, and test.wikidata.org). More
  information about the OAuth work can be found at:
  https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Oauth
* MediaWiki 1.22wmf13 will be deployed to the second group of wikis,
  ie: all non-Wikipedia project sites.
  For the list of important changes, see:
  https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.22/wmf13#Important_Changes

== Tuesday ==
* Notifications (Echo) will be deployed to the first set of non-english
  pilot sites, specifically French and Polish.
  See the Notifications release plan at:
  https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Echo/Release_Plan_2013

== Wednesday ==
* We will enable secure login (via HTTPS) by default. This means that
  all logged in users will read and edit the site via a secure
  connection over HTTPS. Given some restrictions/internet blocks in some
  jurisdictions, we will disable this feature on specific language
  wikis.
  
  There is a page on MetaWiki explaining this, with a link to the
  Wikimedia blog post that originally announced the plan here:
  https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/HTTPS

  This is a first step along a route to improved security while also
  taking into account internet censorship in certain jurisdictions.
  
  There will be more communication about this rollout on Monday the
  19th.

== Thursday ==
* MediaWiki 1.22wmf13 will be deployed to the last group of wikis, ie:
  all Wikipedia project sites.
  For the list of important changes, see:
