Lightning Talks

The monthly Lightning Talks were a platform to give teams @ WMF and in the Community the opportunity to showcase a milestone, recent and exciting developments, or releases to the rest of the Foundation and the movement as a whole, as these talks will be open to our communities. These talks are open to all WMF staff members to attend or present.

How to attend
The Lightning Talks were hosted at the Wikimedia Foundation typically every 2nd Tuesday of the month at 11:00 Pacific Time in the 5th Floor Collab Space. The schedule may change, see below for a list of confirmed Lightning Talks.

The Lightning Talks will be presented via Google Hangout for remotees to watch live or stream later. A link to watch the meeting live will be provided in advance of the talks and a YouTube recording will be provided following each event. You can also join the conversation and participate in Q&A after each Lightning Talk by connecting to the IRC channel:
