Greetings,
Please join the Affiliations Committee in congratulating the MediaWiki Farmers User Group on their official approval as a Wikimedia User Group: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Affiliations_Committee/Resolutions/MediaWiki...
Thank you for all your help in the process!
The MediaWiki Farmers User Group is "A user group of third-party developers who work on wiki farms. Our mission is to improve and standardize the way MediaWiki wiki farms are setup and run."
Anyone interested in more information about the group can visit: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:MediaWiki_Farmers_user_group
We will be having our first meeting[1] at the developer summit, and will post meeting minutes on-wiki for those who aren't able to attend. We'll also have an IRC meeting sometime after the summit, specifics still to be determined.

I didn't see this one coming! Excellent idea, and a great complement to the MediaWiki Stakeholders group.
Wikimedia-as-a-farm should be represented in this group officially, in addition with the personal interest that some WMF employees might have on this topic. While we might discuss whether some MediaWiki-for-third-parties use cases might be relevant to Wikimedia plans, the feedback and plans of third party MediaWiki farms should be fully aligned with the Wikimedia plans -- and vice versa.
