Hello everyone,
This is a notification that the deadline for the Fall 2025 MediaWiki Users & Developers Conference<https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Users_and_Developers_Conf…> CfP is extended until September 15th. The conference will be held on October 28–30th, and hosted by the TIB Leibniz Centre in Hanover, Germany. A lot of exciting proposals<https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Users_and_Developers_Conf…> are already coming in, but we want to give a chance to more presenters who may have found our original deadline too tight after the summer break to take part. A preliminary conference programme will be released in mid-September and the final programme will be available by Sept. 28th.
The CfP remains open to presentation and tutorial proposals on any topic related to MediaWiki usage, deployment or development, including the MediaWiki extension ecosystem (Wikibase, Semantic MediaWiki, etc). To propose a tutorial or any other form of contribution talk for this conference, just fill out this form<https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:FormEdit/Talk?Talk%5BConfer…>.
Everyone is encouraged to attend, to meet and discuss MediaWiki-related topics relating to both the Wikimedia world and uses within companies, organizations, etc.
Special thanks also to the sponsors<https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_Users_and_Developers_Conf…> of this event!
Regards,
Lozana Rossenova, on behalf of the conference team

Hey there everyone,
I would like to shed some light on a new initiative that I first learned
about at the Hackathon last year. CapX is a platform to exchange skills and
knowledge, especially in the context of Wikimedia-wide projects, but also
in general organisational skills that are connected to the work with
communities, tech, and communications.
I'm really inspired to see what they build, especially because we met when
everything was just starting.
I highly encourage you to take a look at their tool, explore the different
capacities listed and create an account if you wish to contribute and/or
learn from others.
You can explore the tool following this link: https://capx.toolforge.org/
You can watch this video to learn how to create an account:

And you can also join the Telegram group to follow more news and exchanges:

Of course, there's a dedicated Meta Page as well:

Do you have an idea of WIkibase related skills that you would like to offer
to others? Drop me a note; I'm happy to juggle ideas with you 🐋🎊🍀
Best,
Valerie Wollinger (She/Her)
