Hi All
There will be no deployments to Wikimedia production the week of 2021-06-14
(2021-06-14–2021-06-18) for Wikimedia Foundation's annual All Hands.
There is a long-term calendar of upcoming known deployment disruptions
available on Wikitech:

Thanks!

All,
As Node 10 is EOL, many of our upstream tools have been dropping Node 10
support recently, which is slowing down development and creating work for
teams.
I have thus created the Node 12 CI infrastructure (T284343
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T284343>) based on Debian Bullseye
(thank you, SRE Service Ops!) and have today migrated almost all jobs over
to use them (T284345 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T284345>).
There are a small handful of jobs (for Kartotherian, OOUI, and WikiPEG)
that need further infrastructure work, and have not yet been migrated. I've
submitted a few commits switching repos with .nvmrc files over to the new
version installed in CI.
This should be an uneventful change; I've spot-checked a few dozen repos
and not found any issues. If there are any, please shout on the task or in
#wikimedia-releng on Libera.Chat so I can fix it.
Note: This only applies to the centrally-managed legacy CI jobs. If your
repo is using the modern pipeline, you will need to wait for there to be an
appropriate base image, which is tracked in T284346
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T284346>.

feedback for *six weeks* and after that, the current committee might apply
changes to the structure based on public feedback.
Please let the committee know if you have any concern regarding the members
and its structure until *26 May 2021* and after that, the new committee
will be in effect and will serve for a year.

Hello all,
As the 2021 WMF Board elections have been announced, I have proposed to
reconsider the eligibility criteria for “developers” and technical
contributors, as the previous criteria do not make sense any longer and
exclude several groups of contributors.
A discussion has been started at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T281977
and
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021#Re…
.
Please share your thoughts and feedback.
Regards

I figure this might be of interest to some here: we could make
sponsorship of contributions more evident by adding a git commit
pseudo-header:
Sponsored-by: Name Of Sponsoring Entity
Obviously this would be optional, and only used by those who want to.
Spelled out in a little more detail:
