Project:WikiProject Extensions/MediaWiki Workshops

Utilizing the model set by Wikimedia staff IRC office hours, WikiProject Extensions will hold regular town halls for developers (volunteer and staff) to present trainings, hold discussions and collaborate on community or WikiProject Extensions projects. Facilitators host the session to introduce any presenters, determine the order of questions, and generally helps to keep things going.

Town halls will typically last one hour, and happen no more than once a (week?). Time of day will vary in order to offer people in different parts of the world the opportunity to participate. (Check local timezones) Announcements are made on this page, on the mediawiki-l and wikitech-l mailing lists.
