29 November | Wikimedia Open Tech Chats | 17 January |
What | Weekly open meetings of the Wikimedia technology community to discuss technical issues, architectural challenges and process improvements. |
---|---|
How | We're using 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, December 13, 2012, 20:30 UTC (12:30 PST), 60–90 minutes |

Food | It's a brown bag - bring your own :) |
