There is a patch to exclude Flow Topics from being linked to Wikidata.
I think this is fine (all talk namespaces are already excluded); just
floating it in case I'm missing something (see
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/229197/).

Sorry for missing standup. My update is:
* Figured out the InvalidDataException
(https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T108972), worked around that symptom
for the board view (it should expire out of cache for the topic view),
and put up and deployed a patch to prevent it happening again.
* Finished the support desk conversion. :)
Non-Flow stuff
* Worked on and put up a patch supporting the change to one year login
expiration for 'Keep me logged in'
(https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T109031 related to
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T68699).
* Merged Erik's patch to put BatchRowUpdate and friends in core. These
are classes from Echo that we use all the time for maint scripts.

Subject: Seeking comments and translations for proposed video project
Dear Wikimedia colleagues:
I am developing a proposal for a video series that's designed to introduce
Wikimedia to new contributors (particularly in GLAM and education
programs), and to motivate them to participate in the community in a
constructive way. I would appreciate your input. The video is intended for
translation into multiple languages; there are already volunteers for
Spanish and German translation.
The proposal's main draft page is here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Motivational_and_educational_vid…
The proposal talk page is here; it includes a draft outline of specific
subjects to cover:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants
talk:IEG/Motivational_and_educational_video_to_introduce_Wikimedia
Please note that the scope and budget of the project are still under
consideration. At this point it would be especially helpful to have input
on the subjects that the video should cover, and how best to cover them.
This information will help as the project scope and budget are refined.
Please add your questions and comments to the talk page.
If you would like to support the project with your endorsement, please do
so here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Motivational_and_educational_vid…
If you would like to volunteer to translate the video, please email me or
comment on the talk page.
Thanks and regards,
Pine
I emergency disabled Flow on the English and Japanese Wikiversities due
to conflicts with their "Topic" namespace and Flow making those pages
inaccessible.
As far as I can tell, fawikibooks and dewikivoyage *also* have namespace
name conflicts but those pages are not broken...I've left Flow enabled
there for now.

Analytics needs to know which reports at stats.wikimedia.org people are
using. They will be decommissioning it around the end of the year, but
plan to re-implement/port the most important reports. Please comment at
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T107175 if you use any in particular.
Aggregate User Agent information (which I think is the one I've used the
most) is already listed.

Starting Monday August 3rd, 2015 (a little over a week from now), we will
start publicly logging the #wikimedia-collaboration IRC channel. Anything
that anyone says in this channel will be visible publicly and forever(*) at
http://bots.wmflabs.org/~wm-bot/logs/%23wikimedia-collaboration
<http://bots.wmflabs.org/%7Ewm-bot/logs/%23wikimedia-collaboration>
A number of people have requested this, but because IRC logging is a
controversial subject for some people, Matt and I decided to announce it
well in advance. We will also announce this in the channel topic, and once
logging is live a link to the log will appear in the channel topic as well.
