Re: [Wikitech-l] TechCom meeting 2020-10-14

[Dan Andreescu]

As for the minutes of our meeting today, Grant joined and we discussed
the Proposal
for a Technical Decision Making Process
.
Specifically, we went over Scope, Transition, Resourcing, and a bit about
the Forum and Timeboxing.  The next steps are to establish a more concrete
transition plan, from the current Tech Com process to the new process.  And
Kate will be reaching out to team managers to begin establishing the Forum.

[Wikitech-l] TechCom meeting 2020-10-14

[Dan Andreescu]

This is the weekly TechCom board review, usually in preparation for our
meeting, a few days late this week because I forgot.  Apologies.

Activity since Monday 2020-10-06 on the following boards:

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/techcom/
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/techcom-rfc/

Committee inbox:

   - T263904 : Are traits part
   of the stable interface?
   - T239742 : "Should npm
   packages maintained by Wikimedia be scoped or unscoped?"
  - Both have been sitting in the inbox for a month or so, Tim first
  pointed this out a few weeks ago but we haven't triaged them yet.

Committee board activity (none)

New RFCs (none)

Phase progression (none)

IRC meeting request (none)

Other RFC activity:


   - T262946:  Bump Firefox
   version in basic support to 3.6 or newer
   - Some agreement between Volker and Timo to keep the scope at just the
  Firefox version bump and move this RFC forward.  I think Volker
is welcome
  to move this back to P4 unless I missed some other ongoing discussion?
   - T259771:  RFC: Drop support
   for database upgrade older than two LTS releases
   - Discussion about upgrading from 1.16 (this humble reader says
  upgrading from a version that's 10 years old should not be a priority)

Hi everyone!

I'm very happy to announce that the Affiliations Committee has recognized
[1] Indic MediaWiki Developers User Group [2] as a Wikimedia User Group.
The group aims to provide technical support to Indic Wikimedia projects and
community members"; technical support is provided in the areas of
user-scripts, gadgets, tools, extensions, Lua modules, templates, MediaWiki
core etc. On-Wiki support is the predominant focus of the group, however,
outreach activities are also taken up from time to time, such as MediaWiki
training, mentoring Google Summer of Code students etc.

Please join me in congratulating the members of this new user group!

Regards,

Rosie Stephenson-Goodknight
