Hello all,
The Wikimedia Language Engineering team[1] invites Indic wikipedians and
people who are interested in language support for their wikiprojects for a
meetup with us. Language teams are Wikimedia community members with a
common interest (compare with SIG) to help improve, provide feedback and
help educate our language communities of readers and editors about
Wikimedia software enhancements and tools built by the langauge engineering
team. This meetup is to get a face-to-face introduction to language
technologies available on the Wikimedia websites and learn more about how
to best use these. We will be in Pune[2] on the 4th November and
Bangalore[3] on 11th November. (For a change a Bangalore Wikimeetup can be
held in a different part of city :)). Please sign up on the page, looking
forward to meeting you and working together on improving language support :)

Subject: [fosscomm] [OT] Wikipedia: State of Tech — A Talk by Erik Moeller
To: <network(a)lists.fosscom.in>
Hello Members,
The Centre for Internet & Society, Bangalore is hosting a talk by Erik
Moeller, Vice President of Engineering and Product Development at the
Wikimedia Foundation, at its office in Bangalore on November 12, 2012, from
11.00 a.m. to 1.00 p.m., followed by a lunch discussion.
Talk Summary:
Wikipedia's technology platform is rapidly changing, with improvements
being deployed every day. Unlike other top websites, Wikipedia is run by a
non-profit (Wikimedia Foundation) and all its technology is open source,
ready to be improved and extended by you.
Learn about the recent and coming technology changes to Wikipedia and
Wikimedia's other projects: the new Visual Editor, improvements to mobile
sites and apps, Wikidata, and projects with mysterious codenames like
"Echo", "Milkshake", "Agora" and "Flow". Learn how to get involved and ask
anything you'd like to know about Wikipedia.
This event is public and free to attend, so no registration is required.
