You can help write the next newsletter: whenever you see information about Wikimedia technology that you think should be distributed more broadly, you can add it to the next newsletter at < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/Next%3E.

More information on how to contribute is available at < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News#contribute%3E. You can also contact me directly.

Changes later this week

- There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Future changes

- [image: Advanced item] The Wikimedia Cloud VPS https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Portal:Cloud_VPS hosts technical projects for the Wikimedia movement. Developers need to claim projects https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/News/Cloud_VPS_2020_Purge they use. This is because old and unused projects are removed once a year. Unclaimed projects can be shut down from 1 December. Unclaimed projects can be deleted from 1 January. [2] https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2020-November/094054.html
