Hello everyone,
The Spring 2025 MediaWiki Users & Developers Conference will be held about
two months from now, on May 14-16 (with an optional half-day workshop on
May 13), at the NASA offices in Sandusky, Ohio, USA:
https://meza.wiki/mwplus/MediaWiki_Users_and_Developers_Spring_2025_Confere…
Everyone is encouraged to attend, to meet and discuss MediaWiki-related
topics relating to both the Wikimedia world and uses within companies,
organizations, etc.
As the program chair, I would like to specifically encourage you all to
consider giving a talk, on any topic related to MediaWiki usage or
development. Talks can be given remotely, although priority will be given
to in-person attendees if there's an overflow. To propose a talk for this
conference, just fill out this form:
https://meza.wiki/mwplus/Form:Proposed_talk
Thank you, and I hope to see you in Sandusky!
-Yaron
