Thank you very much, Brion!

I will announce a call for candidates to join the first Committee,
explaining the next steps as described in the Code of Conduct.

The CoC content is frozen until the Committee starts exercising as such and
the amendments process kicks off. Small edits to i.e. fix red links,
improve navigation to subpages and similar technical improvements are
possible, as long as the content remains untouched.

I also want to thank all contributors, also those who have been watching
the process from a distance (this morning I was checking the page view
statistics, quite impressive for a community of this size). Special thanks
to Matt and Moriel , who have contributed so much, all along, since the
beginning, every week.

Welcome Egbe! We can always use more help from technical contributors,
and its especially nice to see people coming into the technical side
of the movement to hone skills that they can put to use elsewhere in
their lives as well. The
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker wiki
page is a good place to start looking for ways to contribute.

Hi Egbe,

Great to have you on board!

Don’t hesitate to poke people if you have trouble finding or understanding
documentation, we may be already used to its quirks :-)

[Wikitech-l] Introduction

2017-03-07 Thread Egbe Eugene
Hi all,

I am Egbe Eugene. I come from Cameroon and i am quite new to the movement
as a developer. My thought towards contributing to the community is driven
by the impact which the foundation could bring to my country and Africa and
also what i will do in order that the movement be heard around the ends of
my country.

I will also wish to enhance my engineering skills while contributing to the
movement by working on the foundation's projects.

Hope to get more help to get started soonest.

Thanks

[Wikitech-l] Code of Conduct for Wikimedia technical spaces now out of draft state

2017-03-07 Thread Brion Vibber
Per the last round of discussion & votes closing on the amendments section
some days back, the draft period for the Code of Conduct for technical
spaces is complete.

I've taken the liberty of removing the 'draft' template and moving the
pages out of their "/Draft" subpage location to their final locations:

* https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct
* https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct/Cases
* https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct/Committee
* https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct/Amendments

As I understand, this means the committee will be bootstrapping soon --
Quim will have more information on the state of things there.

Thanks to everybody for all your input over the last many months.
