The MediaWiki Developer Summit is an invitation-only event with an emphasis on the evolution of the MediaWiki architecture and the Wikimedia Engineering goals for 2015. This summit is a combination of three events organized in San Francisco in the past: the Architecture Summit, the yearly Wikimedia Foundation Engineering All-Hands/Tech Days event, and the San Francisco Hackathon.

Details about the call for participation, registration, and travel sponsorship will be published soon. In the meantime, you can suggest activities below.

The MediaWiki Developer Summit will be taking place the week after the Wikimedia Foundation's all-hands event. Participants of this event agree to follow the friendly space policy.

Registration
Work in progress. Actual registration coming soon.

The MediaWiki Developer Summit is an invitation-only event—we just want to organize an efficient summit with a sane budget. MediaWiki contributors willing to participate must request an invitation. Profiles likely to be accepted include:


 * Wikimedia maintainers and other reviewers with +2 permissions;
 * maintainers and other key contributors in upstream projects;
 * top stakeholders involved in MediaWiki development; and
 * Wikimedia Engineering employees.

Travel sponsorship
Coming soon.

Participants will be able to request travel sponsorship when requesting an invitation. Invitation requests will be evaluated by merit, whereas travel sponsorship requests will be limited by our budget. This means that some participants might be invited but at their own expense. We will do our best.
