Hi everyone,

Quim and I met earlier, and we agreed to a main room schedule for WikiDev '16: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Developer_Summit_2016/2016-01-04 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Developer_Summit_2016/2016-01-05

That maybe is overstating it a bit; we mainly decided on two things: 1. Each of the working groups/areas defined in T119018 should have a session in the main room (Robertson 1, which seats 200). Discussion of how we should use the focused time in each area should happen in the working area Phab tasks. 2. We scheduled a couple of main room sessions

Things we scheduled for the main room: * Next Generation Content Loading and Routing (Adam Baso and Gabriel Wicke) * How should Wikimedia software support non-Wikimedia deployments of its software? (Gilles Dubuc)

We still have many open slots in the schedule to fill, but we now have a little better idea of what those things will be competing against. Barring a radical change the discussion or in our planning process this week, what Quim and I plan to do is start filling in the slots in the competing rooms (Robertson 2 and Robertson 3) from the must have list (T119593). We'll also be prodding the working areas to decide on their plan for their Robertson 1 time at WikiDev.

Here's the list of working areas, and the current owner assigned to each: T119022: Content format - Tim Starling T119029: Content access and APIs - Gabriel Wicke T119030: Collaboration - Quim Gil T119032: Software engineering - Daniel Kinzler T119162: User interface presentation - Volker Eckl

The agenda bashing session is planned for Wednesday, 2015-12-16, 22:00 UTC (2pm PST) on #wikimedia-office, during what is normally our RFC meeting.

This email is largely a repeat of a couple of comments I made on Phab: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T116024#1880035

For many people (myself included), it's probably easier to read and respond on Phab, but replies here are welcome as well.
