Wikimedia Developer Summit/2016

The Wikimedia Developer Summit is an invitation-only event with an emphasis on the evolution of the MediaWiki architecture and the Wikimedia Engineering goals for 2016. This summit is a combination of three events organized in San Francisco in the past: the 2014 Architecture Summit, the yearly Wikimedia Foundation Engineering All-Hands/Tech Days event, and the San Francisco Hackathon.

Call for participation

 * Work in progress.

The Wikimedia Developer Summit encourages proposals about updating our architecture, infrastructure and services to better support users and developers. Other topics interesting to Wikimedia developers are welcomed as well. The schedule of the first two days is build with sessions that have gone through this call for participation. The third day is reserved for unscheduled activities such as hacking, ad-hoc discussions, or networking.

The program focuses on organized discussions that start online and aim to reach to agreements during the event. Good examples of proposals include requests for comment, overlapping implementations, need-consensus topics, undefined areas and, in general, complex discussions that have chances to be resolved face to face in the context of the Summit.

Presentations and tutorials are explicitly discouraged during the Summit. These types of sessions are welcomed as Tech Talks or Lightning Talks organized before the event, especially when they can provide background materials to Summit participants.

Selection process
Coming soon.
