> This is a reminder: the Wikimedia/MediaWiki developers' meeting is this
> weekend.
> 
> In the late morning on Saturday, Roan Kattouw will lead a workshop for
> developers to teach them how to hack MediaWiki -- MediaWiki's overall
> architecture and ways to mod it, from site preferences to gadgets to
> extensions.  Attendees will learn how to customize MediaWiki using CSS,
> JavaScript, and PHP.
> 
> Tentatively scheduled for midday Sunday is Chad Horohoe's testing
> training - a lecture on how to write tests, walking attendees through
> the documentation and teaching them how to run tests.  He writes:
> 
> "I'll find a simple function we still need a test for, and use it as
> an example. I'll briefly touch on setting up phpunit (with the caveat
> that *sometimes* it's harder than it should be, so ask if you need extra
> help). Then dive into how to write the test."
> 
> You can just drop in for either of those, or come for more of the weekend.
> 
> I hope you can join us!
