*Hello,We recently announced the new Wikimedia
Technical Conference
(TechConf) during the closing session of the Barcelona Hackathon on May 20,
2018. We are sending this email to give an update on the planning and
organization, and to also let everyone know how the nomination process will
work for those interested in attending. The Wikimedia Technical Conference
will take place in Portland, OR, USA on October 22-25, 2018. And, as
mentioned in previous emails [1][2] and on the wiki page [3], this
conference will be focused on the cross-departmental program called
Platform Evolution. We will be providing more information and context as we
go along in the process.For this conference, we are looking for diverse
stakeholders, perspectives, and experiences that will help us to make
informed decisions for the future evolution of the platform. We need people
who can create and architect solutions, as well as those who actually make
decisions on funding and prioritization for the projects.Later this week,
we will send out a form to provide more detailed information on the
nomination process and how to nominate people (or it can be yourself) to
attend this conference, along with the skills, experiences, and/or
backgrounds that we are looking for. Due to the time needed for visa
application and other constraints, the deadline for nominations will be
June 8th. Please make sure that you don’t miss the deadline!If you have any
questions, please post them on the talk page [4][1]
