In October we had a successful week long MediaWiki Core offsite in San Diego. Currently we are focusing most of our energy on planning for the MediaWiki Developer Summit 2015 (Jan 26/27, 2015). We are also ramping up slowly on the French Hackathon in Lyon which will be taking place on May 23 - 25. Team off-sites come up in January: Ops (1 day offsite), Team Practices (3 day offsite).
