[Wikitech-l] Wikimedia Hackathon May 20-22: Info you need for tomorrow’s event

[Melinda Seckington]

Hi everyone,

We hope you’re ready for this three-day event, because the event starts in
10 hours!

The main hackathon will take place over the weekend (Friday through
Sunday), with two sets of core hours for sessions, social events, and
hacking. These core hours are:

   -

   3:00  - 6:00
   UTC (Note: this is
   tonight for some time zones!)
   -

   15:00 - 19:0
   0 UTC


We’re expecting the virtual space to be the busiest at these times. Outside
of those core hours, you’re welcome to stay online to hack on projects,
collaborate with others, or hang out in the virtual space.

The goal with this schedule is to allow time for breaks and to accommodate
as many time zones as possible. You are not expected to attend both sets of
core hours - choose whichever hours work for you! For more info, see the
Schedule .

When will the event start?

The opening ceremony will happen twice - once at 3:00 UTC, and once at
15:00 UTC on May 20. Find the links on the schedule
!

How can I join the virtual space?

We’ll be using an online game-style space for the Hackathon. The links will
be published shortly before the event on the hackathon page on MediaWiki.org
. There will be
rooms for hacking and for sessions. Feel free to explore the virtual space
and join any room - they’re open for everyone!

What happens if I need help?

Once the platform goes live, you will be able to find a Help Desk where you
can ask questions, report any incidents, or just consult useful information
about the event. There are also discussion channels
 that
you can participate in.

How can I work on a project?

If you have an idea, you will be able to add your own projects
 on Phabricator. If
you don’t know yet what to work on, see what projects
 others will be
working on. You might find a project to join or get inspiration for your
own idea!

If you have any other questions, please check our FAQ
 section or
leave a comment on the talk page.

See you soon!

Melinda, for the Hackathon Committee

[Wikitech-l] Train blocked

[Jaime Nuche]

Hi there,

The 1.39.0-wmf.12 version of MediaWiki is blocked[0].
The new version is deployed to groups{0,1}[1], but can proceed no
further until these issues are resolved:

* Fatal exception of type "CannotCreateActorException" when trying to
export file from zhwikibooks to commons-
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T308691


Once these issues are resolved train can resume. If these issues are
resolved on a Friday the train will resume Monday.

Thank you for your help resolving these issues!
