After talking with both Arturo and Birgit about things we might present at Wikimania, I came up with this abstract for a talk:
Co-creating platforms and products: how the Wikimedia Cloud Services team works with the larger Wikimedia technical community to build and maintain Cloud VPS, Toolforge, Quarry, PAWS, and more
Did you know that volunteers are involved in planning, building, and maintaining the Cloud VPS and Toolforge projects as co-equals with paid staff from the Wikimedia Foundation? Since the start of the "Labs" project in 2011, one of the guiding principles for WMCS projects has been improving collaboration between Foundation staff and technical volunteers. Learn more about some of the policies and practices that are used to make this collaboration possible.
I have submitted https://pretalx.com/wm2023/talk/review/PALYXXEX9H8UUL7DTD93HJESAUTLYMU9. If accepted, I hope some of you will be able to participate in the panel. I requested a hybrid presentation slot so that we would not all need to be present in Singapore. There is also a potential for us to fallback to a pre-recorded video that folks could watch if we are not accepted for a live session.
