Vision Statement
Becoming the essential infrastructure of Free Knowledge requires a diverse and equitable technical contributor community (staff and volunteers alike). To reduce barriers to entry and to enable faster and easier development, we must provide a modern and complete engineering productivity ecosystem. Everything from code-review and code health, to local development and testing, from proof of concept creation to production deployment and monitoring.

Themes: testing, deploying/hosting, people and tool processes and integrations, standardization decisions, local development and onboarding.

Wikimedia Technical Conference 2019 intends to help address all of the issues — large and small — that will make all parts of our engineers' lives happier, healthier, and more productive.
