Wikimedia Open Tech Chats

29 November

What	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	Thursday, November 15, 2012, 20:30 UTC (12:30 PST), 60–90 minutes
Where	Physical space: 6th floor SF office, "Collab" space IRC: #wikimedia-dev connect YouTube stream: http://youtu.be/lu-YHnJ0SK0
Food	It's a brown bag - bring your own :)

Topics

• Guest speaker: Saper on Git & Gerrit tricks

Suggestions:

• Follow along via screensharing as a developer fixes a bug, including investigation, git commit, and closing the Bugzilla ticket

• Note: I've been working on a video of just this for a different project, and I like the idea generally, but I think it's better when the developer is new to the project. Keep an eye out? --MarkTraceur (talk) 02:04, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

• Whether we should standardise on a dynamic stylesheet language for MediaWiki extensions and/or MediaWiki core, and if so, which (e.g. LESS or SASS)
• The future of Gadgets/ResourceLoader
• Discussing the glorious Wikidata future
