Hi all!

Due to Wikimania coming up, the TechCom Radar email is coming very late this time. Sorry about that!

Here are the minutes from this week's TechCom meeting. You can also find the minutes at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Technical_Committee/2017-08-02.

See also the TechCom activity page on the RFC board https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/mediawiki-rfcs/.

Here are the minutes, for your convenience:

* Discussion of talk pages and contributions for IPv6 ranges happened on August 2nd, but the RFC’s author wasn’t present. The log is linked on the ticket. <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T171382#3496647 >

* New RFC by MaxSem: Require PHP 5.6 for MediaWiki 1.31 (target summer of 2018): https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T172165

* TechCom will host a session about the new charter during the Wikimania Hackathon. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Architecture_committee/Charter

* The next TechCom meeting on August 9th will be a public in-person meeting at the Wikimania hackathon, at 4pm local time (that’s 1pm PDT and 20:00 UTC). This is a TechCom planning meeting, not an RFC discussion. Remote participation will be possible (probably via Google Hangout). Watch for aqn announcement in the Hackathon unconference programme. https://wikimania2017.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hackathon/Program

* There will be no RFC discussion on August 16th, since most TechCom members will be busy with post-Wikimania activities or travel. TechCom Will resume its regular schedule on August 23rd, the next RFC discussion will probably be on August 30th.
