Technical Advice IRC Meeting



Hello and welcome to the weekly Technical Advice IRC Meeting!

The meeting takes place every Wednesday from 3 to 4 pm UTC on.

The Technical Advice IRC meeting is open for all volunteer developers, topics and questions. This can be anything from "how to get started" over "who would be the best contact for X" to specific questions on your project.

We will try to help you as best as we can.

All questions are welcome! If you know already what you would like to discuss or ask, please add your topic to the next meeting, so that we can prepare the meeting or ask an expert for your issue to join if needed. Of course it is always possible to check in spontaneously!

This meeting is an initiative by WMDE’s software development department.

Next meeting on Wednesday, Jule 18th 2018 (Wikimania Special)
Time: 3 pm UTC

Join the meeting:. If you are new to IRC, here are instructions for how it works.

 * qacct Sun Grid Engine utility takes a very long time to display results. I am guessing that the log file is quite large. Maybe the log file could be pruned to the last month. --Bamyers99 (talk) 18:41, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
