This is not the final structure. According to the CoC [2], the current
committee publishes the new members and calls for public feedback for *six
weeks* and after that, the current committee might apply changes to the
structure based on public feedback.
Please let the committee know (via techconduct(a)wikimedia.org) if you have
any concern regarding the members and its structure until *08 October 2024*
and after that, the new committee will be in effect and will serve for a
year.

I had requested an new Cloud VPS project 6 days back and waiting for
review or approval but it has been 6 days since my request but till now no

the link of my request Request creation of createwikitest VPS project
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T375454> So I would be happy to my
request be reviewed as soon as possible.
Hello, quarry currently retains query results forever. This proves to be a
problem when removed data is retained in quarry. In order to improve this
while still leaving results accessible, results older than 90 days will be
removed. The queries will not be impacted by this change. And the results
can of course be regenerated (with current data) at any time by
resubmitting the query.

The plan is for this to go into effect in later October (2024-10-21), could
go in earlier but I won't be here until then.
Thank you!

tl;dr: Horizon login might be broken and/or look different off and on
tomorrow.
As part of ongoing gradual work to turn wikitech into an SUL wiki[0],
tomorrow we'll be switching Horizon over to use the WMF's single-sign-on
platform[1]. Here's what to expect:
- We probably won't get it right the first time, so Horizon logins might
be broken on and off tomorrow, Thursday, 2024-09-05
- Presuming all goes well, we'll leave things to use SSO, which means
the login dialog will look different from before.
- Login will use the same credentials as previously. If you're used to
logging in with your shell name, you may need to switch to using your
username instead (in other words, the name you would log into wikitech
with.)
- During this transition 2fa will no longer be required on Horizon.
Later in the process (possibly several weeks from now) the 2fa prompt
will appear in the SSO panel, at which point you'll be able to use the
same codes as before. Don't remove the codes from your 2fa app!
Bonus pointer: For account and key management which you might
historically have done on wikitech, you should now use
https://idm.wikimedia.org/. Wikitech logins remain unchanged for now but
most account-editing options have been removed.

Following several requests from users over the past eight years [0],
we are finally enabling access to ToolsDB's "public" databases (the
ones with a name ending with "_p") [1] from both Quarry [2] and
Superset [3].
The data stored in those databases have always been accessible to
every Toolforge user, but after this change they will become more
broadly accessible, as Quarry can be accessed by anyone with a
Wikimedia account, and saved queries in Quarry can be shared with
public links that require no login at all.
== This change is planned to go live on Monday, July 1st. ==
If you have any concerns or questions related to this change, please
leave a comment in the Phabricator task or one of its subtasks. [0]
Thanks to everyone for your patience and for keeping the task alive
over the years!
