No, not exclusively.  Cindy Cicalese from MITRE was there with Markus
Glaser and I last year.

It was then that we got to talk with Kunal (Legoktm) about his then-new
extension.json effort.  I grilled him about using composer and he
explained why he wasn't using it.

(I've since seen his rationale borne out through my interactions with
the Composer devs.  I made sure that those interactions were public and
available for others to see so that if anyone feels the need to grill
anyone in MW core about it again, we have something to point them to.)

I would *love* to have developers who are focused on MediaWiki outside
the WMF involved in the summit.  In the survey that we recently
completed in the MW Stakeholder's group, we've seen that SMW devs are
some of the most important ones in this regard.

We need more non-WMF voices involved in these sorts of activities.  Cost
should not be too much of an issue.  The WMF has travel grants for this
sort of thing if that is needed.

I encourage any developers who have an interest in the future of
MediaWiki (i.e. all SMW devs) to attend.

Thanks,

Mark.

Seems pretty interesting... I assume this will focus mostly on core
MediaWiki and WMF software like VisualEditor and Flow, but apparently not
exclusively.
