Hi everyone,
If you are interested in serving on the CoC committee, please consider this
mail by reading it all :) and write an email to techconductcandidates AT
wikimedia.or. <http://wikimedia.org>
*Fowarded as recieved*
*=================*
Hello all,
It's coming close to time for annual appointments of community members to
serve on the Code of Conduct (CoC) committee. The Code of Conduct Committee
is a team of five trusted individuals plus five auxiliary members with
diverse affiliations responsible for general enforcement of the Code of
conduct for Wikimedia technical spaces. Committee members are in charge of
processing complaints, discussing with the parties affected, agreeing on
resolutions, and following up on their enforcement. For more on their
duties and roles, see
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct/Committee
<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Ombudsman_commission>
This is a call for community members interested in volunteering for
appointment to this committee. Volunteers serving in this role should be
experienced Wikimedians or have had experience serving in a similar
position before.
The current committee is doing the selection and will research and discuss
candidates. Six weeks before the beginning of the next Committee term,
meaning 23th of April 2019, they will publish their candidate slate (a list
of candidates) on-wiki. The community can provide feedback on these
candidates, via private email to the group choosing the next Committee. The
feedback period will be two weeks. The current Committee will then either
finalize the slate, or update the candidate slate in response to concerns
raised. If the candidate slate changes, there will be another two week
feedback period covering the newly proposed members. After the selections
are finalized, there will be a training period, after which the new
Committee is appointed. The current Committee continues to serve until the
feedback, selection, and training process is complete.
If you are interested in serving on this committee or like to nominate a
candidate, please write an email to techconductcandidates AT wikimedia.org
with details of your experience on the projects, your thoughts on the code
of conduct and the committee and what you hope to bring to the role and
whether you have a preference in being auxiliary or constant member of the
committee. The committee consists of five members plus five auxiliary
members and they will serve for a year; all applications are appreciated
and will be carefully considered. The deadline for applications is end of
day on 20th of April, 2019.
Please feel free to pass this invitation along to any users who you think
may be qualified and interested.
Best,
Amir on behalf of the CoC committee

Hi,
Indeed, it was a good month and this time around, more interesting than
February. The statistics of March 2019 has been published[0] (just in case,
you can subscribe to the ticket <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T213581>
to watch changes). Congratulations to the 3 that made it on the leader
board.
I'll personally like to congratulate *Jerop Brenda* from *Kenya* leading
(with 1st position) and it's a wonderful inspiration for us to see this
change in the statistics, congratulations and keep it up!
In addition, find bugs/tasks to work on under the "New Contributor's Task"
or "Tasks" column[1] and if you have any queries, you can always ask here
on the mailing list or on the #wikimedia-dev-africa, #wikimedia-dev or on
#wikimedia-tech IRC channels on Freenode. Another very reliable Developer
Support system you can use for questions is the:
https://discourse-mediawiki.wmflabs.org/[2] and there are weekly Technical
Advice IRC meetings on #wikimedia-tech[3], you can also use it as well to
ask your questions and get instant help and/or feedback.
Cheers and happy hacking!

Hi,
The AWMD stats tool has some updates that have been made over the past
months since the introduction of Canvas JS charts [1]. A few major changes
on the UI are; possibility to see total patch count by all contributors in
a Leader Board Phabricator template view (ranked by contributors with
number of patches submitted, merged, abandoned and under review) built by
Samuel Guebo, assignment of 3 kinds of badges based on number of patches
submitted (by xSavitar).
We would want to thank the following users for their contributions to the
tool to make it better (cut off from October 2018);
