Hi,
The latest tech newsletter is now available at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2015/15 .
Below is the English version.
You can help write the next newsletter: whenever you see information
about Wikimedia technology that you think should be distributed more
broadly, you can add it to the next newsletter at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/Next.
More information on how to contribute is available at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News#contribute . You can also
contact me directly.
As always, feedback (on- or off-list) is appreciated and encouraged.
