| Domas | |||
| Marko | Obrovac | WMF | As part of the WMF Services team, I plan to focus on SOA-related topics spread throughout the DS. |
| Frances | Hocutt | WMF | There are several workshops I'd like to participate in: introduction to web accessibility, Lua, Graphs, Vagrant, and Flow for bots. I'd also like to be part of the conversation around documentation. |
| Ebubechim | Okpo | Outreach Program for Women | I am interested in participating in the "Content API service" and "VisualEditor" discussion sessions as well as attending the "Using EventLogging and Dashboards" workshops. |
| Florian | Schmidt | mobile volunteer | Mobile, Frontend standardisation, Installation and deployment, Extension management, OOJs (UI) and "extensions and the config features" |
| Denny | Vrandečić | Anything about structured data | |
| Aaron | Halfaker | WMF | Discussions around "data products" and Artificial Intelligence as a service via WMF Labs |
| Abigail | Ripstra | WMF | I am a design resaercher, not an engineer, so I do not recognize any of the topics listed on the media wiki site. I am not sure what I will be able to contribute, or what I will gain. |
| Adam | Baso | WMF | I could be of some assistance with apps-oriented stuff, as well speaking to aspects of the architecture of the Lua approach to business process language programming. It might be worthwhile to give people some insight into the architecture of the zero-rating platform to give people an idea of how such things are done here. |
| Adam | Wight | WMF | I have open RFCs I would be excited to work on, otherwise I'm happy to help out with whatever is available.
Smaller tasks I need to coordinate with other devs:
|
| Adam | Shorland | WMUK / Wikidata | Participate in BounceHandler extension to handle email bounces sprint
Workshop - Convert extensions to use new Config features I Might finally install vagrant at MediaWiki-Vagrant Install Party Using Elasticsearch, potentially looking at the wikidata query functionality
I'm sure more will happen than this! |
| Alexander | Monk | WMF | VisualEditor-related things mainly, though I am keen to do much more that. Honestly it's difficult to decide on any specific topics because I don't know which will come up, the page does not give that information.
I would like to talk to some people about the status of configuration DBs, and I believe Kunal Mehta plans to make some progress in this area at the summit. I'd like for us to consider making rcstream 'official', especially given that it's already implemented as a production service, as the successor of the IRC RC stream. |
| Alexandros | Kosiaris | WMF | Being a member of the operations team I am interested in discussions about the future of Service Oriented Architecture efforts |
| Amir | Aharoni | WMF | Present and discuss my proposal to reorganize the internationalization code as reusable libraries and services.
Review new features for good internationalization support. |
| Andre | Klapper | WMF | Anything related to bug report management and discussing it / faciliating effective use, especially with regard to the new 'Phabricator' tool that we are migrating several pieces of infrastructure to (Bugzilla, RT, Trello, Mingle, Gerrit); general interest in following up what's cooking in development teams |
| Andrew | Bogott | WMF | I'll be available for help with Labs sign-up and use throughout the conference. |
| Andrew | Otto | WMF | Hadoop stuff, not sure? |
| Andrew | Garrett | WMF | My main contributions will be in Flow, Global Profile, and other "new features".
I will also have something to say about things I've worked on in the past, such as moving AbuseFilter forward with the times, and I'd love to participate in admin tools discussions.
As well as this, I have a stake in the future of MediaWiki and ample experience, and I want to stay up to date and contribute to discussions of its architectural future. |
| Andrew | Green | WMF | I'm interested in discussing CentralNotice, the RfCs I've worked on (Typesafe Enums, Dependency Injection and Data Mapper), general strategies for improving Mediawiki architecture, domain-driven development, the Editor Campaigns project, other endeavors related to working in groups on Wikipedia, the Graph extension, natural language processing, structured data, and research on consensus in the digital era and on the social movement(s) that the WMF, Wikipedia and sister projects are a part of. |
| Antoine | Musso | WMF | Testing, continuous integration. Should probably give a talk about how we test stuff.
Discussion regarding the migration from Gerrit to Phabricator and maybe replace our current continuous integration software stack. |
| Ariel | Glenn | WMF | If there are any discussions about the storage architecture or touching on dbs I'd like to be in on those.
If there are is any docker + vagrant + mw discussion I could be helpful there. |

There are various aspects of the project which needs to be introduced to other developers, and parts of code which would help us get more insights and feedback on our different approach.
Also - as part of my project - we had lot of discussions[2] and patch sets to core on shifting to SwiftMailer from the conventional mailer - which eventually led to a new extension - Swiftmailer[3]. Discussions which involve the current mailer is also another thing I am looking forward at.
