Hi!
I'm looking for a co-mentor for this project:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mentorship_programs/Possible_projects#Merge_…
There is already someone that would be giving guidance on Tesseract OCR,
now I'm looking for a second mentor to advise on Mediawiki issues.
A student has shown interest in this project already.
Anyone up to mentoring? :-)

Hello,
I had to stop our continuous integration system a few minutes ago. A
nasty issue is causing the jobs to pill up and getting VERY slow to process.
The result is that no jobs are triggered and nothing is reported back in
Gerrit.
I am deploying a change as I write this email. Sorry for the
inconvenience, I will keep you updated.

Sending this out because I know many of your are wondering about the
status of the Redis JobQueue work.
This happened today:
18:24 logmsgbot: aaron synchronized wmf-config/jobqueue-eqiad.php
'Enabled use of redis for null test jobs'
What that means is that null test jobs will be sent to the new
Redis-based JobQueue. Aaron will also begin sending some real jobs to
the Redis-based queue later today and monitor them.
If all goes well with the testing, we should be able to switch over
fully by this coming Monday.

Subject: [Wmfall] Announcing Pending Departure
To: "Staff (All)" <wmfall(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
All,
It is never a good time or easy to leave the job you love. With regrets, it
saddens me to announce that I'll be leaving the Foundation in about 3
months. The exact timing of my departure will depend on finding my
replacement and the transition over to my successor.
In my two and half years with the Foundation, we saw the growing and
maturing of the TechOps department, resulting in significant improvement in
both the technical infrastructure and service processes. The entire
technology stack has been refreshed reducing much of our technical debt and
we built and migrated to a new and better designed datacenter. In addition,
the site performance and stability are ever best. I am so proud to be
working with the highly capable and talented TechOps and the engineering
teams .

My future plans are still in the works. I might restart my previous
not-for-profit education startup (teaching technology to kids) or seek
another exciting adventure that is fulfilling. I do, however, know that I
want to spend more time with my aging parents now and, of course, with my
immediate family.
I like to thank all of you for making my experience here so memorable,
especially to my team who have been extremely wonderful to work with.
Thank you so much!
CT Woo

Subject: [WikimediaMobile] Fwd: MobileFrontend bug 45622
To: mobile-l <mobile-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
I just received this mail from a user:
"...I upgraded to Mediawiki 1.20 on me dev machine, and things
seem to work fine.
However using MF for MW 1.20 has no auto-detect, so it's not very
useful to me :)
Is there any chance you fix this on the master version as well (which
has built it auto-detect)?"
It seems various other people are being confused with how mobile
detection works [1], myself included so I have setup this basic stub
of a page [2] to hopefully document this. Please share your knowledge
here!
