Hi All,

Here are the minutes from this week's TechCom meeting:

Two RFCs are going on Last Call until August 27:

* "Heredoc" arguments for templates https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T114432 * Abstract schemas and schema changes https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T191231

If no objections remain unaddressed by August 7, these RFCs will be approved as proposed and amended. If you care about this RFCs, please comment on phabricator -- in support, or raising concerns. The Last Call period is not just for raising objections, but also for confirming consensus.

We had an IRC meeting about "Merge Extension:Theme into core". There was good progress made on the mechanics of adding support for theme based LESS variables to Resource Loader. The discussion about actually merging the extension into core is ongoing on the ticket. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T122924
