Wikimedia Open Tech Chats

8 November

What	Frequent (weekly?) open meetings of the Wikimedia technology community to discuss technical issues, architectural challenges and process improvements.
How	We're trying a combination of Google Hangout on Air (an open YouTube stream from the 6th floor of the WMF office) + potential additional Hangout guest speakers + IRC for text-based communication. There's no attendance limit. You don't need Hangout to participate -- if you can play YouTube videos and join IRC, you're fine.
When	Tuesday, October 30, 2012, 19:30 UTC (12:30 PDT), 60–90 minutes
Where	Physical space: 6th floor SF office, "Collab" space IRC: #wikimedia-dev connect YouTube recording IRC log
Food	It's a brown bag - bring your own :)

• The future of Gadgets/ResourceLoader
• Discussing the glorious Wikidata future
• Beyond jQuery - experiences with JS frameworks (backbone.js, ember.js, etc.)
