We're organizing a half-day workshop for engineers, analysts, PMs and
other parties interested in learning how to use EventLogging.

*EventLogging* <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/EventLogging> [1] is a
MediaWiki extension developed by the E3 team that allows the collection
of data on how users interact with our site. It's been largely adopted
in Product/Mobile/Feature engineering to run A/B tests and to evaluate
experimental features but can be used more generally to identify
usability problems and to collect data to inform feature design.

Whether you are already planning to use EventLogging for an existing
project or you are just curious to learn how it works, the session will
cover a typical workflow:

1) turning an idea into a data model
2) instrumenting MediaWiki to log events
3) accessing and QA'ing log data
4) performing simple log data analysis

The *workshop*
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/EventLogging/Workshop> [2] will be
hosted at the Wikimedia Foundation (Collab space, 6th floor) on *March 7
*between *1.30pm-5pm*. The whole E3 engineer line-up will be in the
office to provide hands-on demos and tutorials. If you are interested in
attending, please sign up
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/EventLogging/Workshop#Participants> on
the workshop page. The session will be recorded but we're not currently
planning to stream it.
