The survey cannot be opened (gives a permission error. Presumably its only
working if you are logged in to a WMF google account)
Fixed!
Additionally, I wish there was more information about what basis we are
supposed to be nominating people on. Its not even
clear under what category
of person we are nominating people for (people with skills (what type of
skills?) who are going to be "selected by the comittee" or are we
nominating for the 17 volunteers? (What type of volunteers? Wikipedians
(aka users)? Volunteer devs? How do third parties fit into that?)
For any questions, the Program Committee
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Technical_Conference/2018#Program_Committee>
will be monitoring the talk page
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Technical_Conference/2018>!
