Thread:Talk:Events/Rename "Events" page back to "MediaWiki developer meetings"?/reply

I believe that it's worth listing events when there is a MediaWiki session approved or even where there are MediaWiki community contributors attending. By having them listed here we might be encouraging others to go and meet. In those cases a subpage for details and coordination should be created. Events/LibrePlanet2013 is in fact a good example of this approach.

See this change that I reverted for a potential solution to list events that are relevant but don't have any MediaWiki specific content (yet?). It is our interest to inject the MediaWiki agenda to more events and we are touching more and more subjects going beyond the traditional PHP / CMS world: mobile, HTML5, big data... In each of these fields there are events that in fact would be delighted of receiving MediaWiki related content (especially as in "the backstage of Wikipedia").

I reverted the change because so far the events listed do have a link with MediaWiki. (And I listed Wikimedia Summit India when it seemed clear that there would be MediaWiki sessions there. I might have been too fast typing, indeed.) :)

Does this make sense to you?

PS: I also believe that shortening the first paragraph would increase the chances that people actually read it. I did, though.
