lightning talks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_talk on Sep 22! ~ More logistic details/signups found in the email below ~
Please sign up if you would like to do a quick 10 min talk this month.
These talks will continue every month until there is no longer interest.
A youtube stream will be sent out to this list just before the talks start so you can follow along, you can ask questions on IRC, and the talks will also be recorded so that you can watch them whenever you like.

Hello!
September's Lightning Talks are in two weeks and we are looking for more volunteers to present. Lightning Talks are an opportunity for teams @ WMF & in the Community to showcase a Quarterly Goal achieved, significant milestone, release, or anything of significance to the rest of the foundation and the movement as a whole. These talks will be open to our communities.
Each presentation will be 10 minutes or less, the formal part should be not be longer than 5 minutes and the remainder can be used for questions. We need at least three people to sign-up to be speakers on the wiki page https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Lightning_Talks by September 15 or else the talks will be postponed to the next month.
Too many questions to answer in the allotted time? No worries, your lightning talk will be a great candidate for a future Tech Talk.
Third Round of Lightning Talks:
When: Tuesday September 22, 1800 UTC http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Lightning+Talks+-+August&iso=20150922T18&p1=1440&ah=1, 11am PDT
Where: 5th Floor
Remotees: On-Air google hangout will be provided just before the meeting
IRC: #wikimedia-tech
Sign up for a 10 minute slot here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Lightning_Talks
Thanks! Kevin Leduc, Rachel Farrand, Megan Neisler

Would it be possible to request a lightning talk about the reasoning behind the decision to put Flow into maintenance mode, and about the plans for the Collaboration team's work post-Flow?

I would really appreciate this as well -- the workflow stuff was AFAIK originally supposed to be part of Flow, so from the perspective of someone not intimately familiar with the current ongoings of the project it's all a bit confusing to say it's being moved to maintenance mode but the team will be working on workflows instead of on Flow...
A good user communication system to replace classic talk-page-style hacks is probably the single most important technical project the WMF can be working on -- it touches literally everything else.

Sounds like a great idea, anyone from the collaboration team willing to take this on? Please sign up! :)

Hi Pine,
I don't think Lightning Talks are the right venue for discussing the decision to put Flow into maintenance. I'd like to give priority to engineering teams who can showcase their work. Also, I think any discussion on Flow deserves more than 10 minutes.

Ok, how about having a detailed Flow and Collaboration presentation at the October metrics meeting?

HTTP/2 is now either supported, or about to be supported by all major browsers.
Most notably, HTTP/2 will be supported by Apple's iOS in version 9, due to launch later this month, which will push HTTP/2 support to hundreds of millions of mobile devices, which are in the best position to benefit from HTTP/2's bandwidth utilization and latency optimizations.
Moreover, shortly after this, browser venders are likely to start to pull support for the now-obsolete pre-standard SPDY protocol, which will make the current SPDY support useless.
See
http://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2015/09/07/http2-115-days-with-the-rfc/
for more details.
At the moment, Wikipedia appears to support SPDY 3.1, but not yet HTTP/2. As far as I can see, many of the major webserver infrastructure projects now either fully support HTTP/2, or have implementations in the works, which in general isn't too difficult, as HTTP/2 is very similar to the last revision of SPDY.
Does anyone know if the WMF engineering team has a schedule for deploying HTTP/2 on its sites, preferably in the near future, and if so, what the progress is toward that goal?

We have no firm schedule yet. It's mostly blocked on upstream work. You can follow the progress on the relevant task on Phabricator, https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T96848.
