*Hello,We recently announced the new Wikimedia
Technical Conference
(TechConf) during the closing session of the Barcelona Hackathon on May
20,
2018. We are sending this email to give an update
on the planning and
organization, and to also let everyone know how the nomination process
will
work for those interested in attending. The
Wikimedia Technical
Conference
will take place in Portland, OR, USA on October
22-25, 2018. And, as
mentioned in previous emails [1][2] and on the wiki page [3], this
conference will be focused on the cross-departmental program called
Platform Evolution. We will be providing more information and context as
we
go along in the process.For this conference, we
are looking for diverse
stakeholders, perspectives, and experiences that will help us to make
informed decisions for the future evolution of the platform. We need
people
who can create and architect solutions, as well
as those who actually
make
decisions on funding and prioritization for the
projects.Later this week,
we will send out a form to provide more detailed information on the
nomination process and how to nominate people (or it can be yourself) to
attend this conference, along with the skills, experiences, and/or
backgrounds that we are looking for. Due to the time needed for visa
application and other constraints, the deadline for nominations will be
June 8th. Please make sure that you don’t miss the deadline!If you have
any
questions, please post them on the talk page
