Greetings all,
There will not be a TechCom/RFC discussion on IRC today.
The committee had selected a topic, but it didn't get announced in time,
and the RFC proposer is unable to attend. We will reschedule that topic,
and we will be refining our processes to try to avoid having this happen in
the future.

(An early heads-up that Google Code-in 2017 has been announced.)
GCI is an annual contest for 13-17 year old students. It will take
place from Nov28 to Jan17 and is not only about coding tasks.
For some achievements from last round, see
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2017/02/03/google-code-in/
For complete info about Google Code-in, check
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in/Mentors
While we wait whether Wikimedia will get accepted:
* You have small, self-contained bugs you'd like to see fixed?
* Your documentation needs specific improvements?
* Your user interface has small design issues?
* Your Outreachy/Summer of Code project welcomes small tweaks?
* You'd enjoy helping someone port your template to Lua?
* Your gadget code uses some deprecated API calls?
* You have tasks in mind that welcome some research?
Also note that "Beginner tasks" (e.g. "Set up Vagrant" etc) and
"generic" tasks are very welcome (e.g. "Choose & fix 2 PHP7 issues
from the list in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T120336 ").
Because we will need hundreds of tasks. :)
And we also have more than 400 unassigned open 'easy' tasks listed:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/HCyOonSbFn.z/#R
Please take a moment to find / update [Phabricator etc.] tasks in your
p
roject(s) which would take an experienced contributor 2-3 hours. Check
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in/Mentors
and please ask if you have any questions!
Thanks!,
andre

If you know already what you would like to discuss or ask, please add your
topic to the next meeting:

Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Diversity Award for the mentoring program of the
2017 Wikimedia Hackathon in Vienna
To: wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org
Hello everyone!
We wanted to share some good news with you: Our international team around
the Wikimedia Hackathon mentoring program won the first Austrian Open
Source Award in the category "Diversity" [1].
The Austrian Open Source Award was established this year in order to raise
awareness and visibility for our local Open Source Communities and their
projects. The jury consisted of representatives from across the various
Open Communities in Austria (Open Knowledge, Linux, and Drupal among
others) and honoured outstanding projects in the categories Open Data, Open
Software, Open Hardware, and Diversity.
The Jury particularly mentioned our comprehensive documentation under a
free license which enables other event organizers to apply our ideas and
concepts and to build on them [2] [3].
We are very happy about this positive signal for inclusive events, which
make it easier for all newcomers to join our great communities and we hope
it encourages even more people to also make our other Wikimedia events more
and more newcomer friendly. A special thanks goes to our awesome mentors
who were the heart and soul of the mentoring program and the Hackathon!
For more information about what we learned around the mentoring program you
can also check out our post from the Wikimedia Blog [4].
