Architecture Summit 2014/Attendees

23-24 January, 2014

SPUR - 654 Mission Street

San Francisco (CA, USA)

What
The basic structure of the architecture summit would be:
 * Put out a call for RFCs for badly needed architectural changes, with a deadline some small but reasonable number of weeks beforehand (e.g. 2-3 weeks)
 * Cherry pick the most important RFCs for discussion resolution
 * Spend a reasonable amount of time discussing each RFC, attempting to come to consensus about acceptance of the work, or at least about next steps.

Additionally, we may spend a portion of the meeting discussing the central architecture document itself, depending on its state come January.

Your feedback about the scope, goals and schedule of the summit are welcome at the discussion page.

Attending
The target audience of this event are mainly project maintainers and other developers involved in RFCs. A participation request form will be available. All participants must specify their current involvement in the MediaWiki project, the RFC(s) that are promoting and the main future topics they want to discuss.

We are tentatively aiming to have around 50-60 people and we have some budget to sponsor travel for accepted participants.

Organization
Coordination: Rob Lanphier. He controls the budget and bootstraps the committee.

Committee: Mark Bergsma, Tim Starling, Brion Vibber, Arthur Richards, Roan Kattouw and maybe more. They accept participants and drive the schedule.

Logistics: Rachel Farrand and Quim Gil.
