Hi!

I'd like to welcome you to join us at the CREDIT showcase next week,
Wednesday, 3-May-2017 at 1800 UTC / 1100 Pacific Time. We'd like to see
your demos, whether they're rough works in progress or polished production
material, or even just a telling of something you've been studying
recently. For more information on the upcoming event, as well as recordings
of previous events, please visit the following page:

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/CREDIT_showcase

And if you'd like to share the news about the upcoming CREDIT showcase,
here's some suggested verbiage. Thanks!


*Hi *

*I hope all is well with you! I wanted to let you know about CREDIT, a
monthly demo series that we’re running to showcase open source tech
projects from Wikimedia’s Community, Reading, Editing, Discovery,
Infrastructure and Technology teams. *

*CREDIT is open to the public, and we welcome questions and discussion. The
next CREDIT will be held on May 3rd at 11am PT / 2pm ET / 18:00 UTC. *

*There’s more info on MediaWiki
, and on Etherpad
, which is where we take notes and
ask questions. You can also ask questions on IRC in the Freenode chatroom
#wikimedia-office (web-based access here
). Links to
video will become available at these locations shortly before the event.*

*Please feel free to pass this information along to any interested folks.
Our projects tend to focus on areas that might be of interest to folks
working across the open source tech community: language detection,
numerical sort, large data visualizations, maps, and all sorts of other
things.*

*If you have any questions, please let me know! Thanks, and I hope to see
you at CREDIT.*

*YOURNAME*

Re: [WikimediaMobile] [Apps] New Android production release

[Dmitry Brant]

I should add to the list of new features:
- We're now continuing our rollout of editing Wikidata descriptions by
expanding the languages for which descriptions can be added/edited. For
more details, please see the announcement

on Wikidata.


Cheers!
