To: Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hi all,
As I noted recently, we're merging the WMF technical showcase with the
lightning
talks <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Lightning_Talks> into what we're
calling *CREDIT <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/CREDIT_showcase>.*
The next CREDIT showcase will be 6-April-2016 at 1800 UTC (1100 SF).
Please add your demos to https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/CREDIT
Thanks!
-Adam
