  1. RE: scholar.social/@gedankenstueck

    El sábado hablé en el #FLISoLCordoba sobre oportunidades de participación técnica en Wikimedia. O sobre "cómo convertirte en wikihacker". Primera vez que doy una charla sobre este tema que tanto me gusta!
    Muchas gracias a todes les participantes por venir. Me divertí un montón! Y gracias @gedankenstuecke por la foto!!

  2. Celebration! The #wmhack25 was the occasion to onboard User:Arcstur as a maintainer of #EditGroups! I'm super grateful for him for already helping out with a big cleanup of the deployment process :)

  7. @douginamug and I are trying to debug a #Gerrit login issue in the #wmhack lobby. Looks like creating a new Wikitech account and rigourously following the tutorial doesn't let us SSH to Gerrit. Could it be related to the recent downtime? Join us on the couch in front of the registration desk! :-) mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Tuto

  8. I received an email from #Wikimedia Developer Experience asking me to link my #Wikitech account to my #Mediawiki account.

    1. I thought that it was done years ago (at least for Phabricator)
    2. I'm supposed to do that... on a non-existent website (idm.wikipedia.org/ issues a "Could not resolve host")
    3. It refers to a FAQ that is... an empty draft wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Ne

    What is going on?

  9. What are the plans around #redis usage in the #wikitech #toolforge, especially after the license change? Will we switch to a fork? Also, does it actually make sense to have a redis instance shared between many tools, when redis provides (AFAICT) no user isolation at all, meaning that the tools can overwrite each other's data (on top of potentially competing for resources like connections or memory)? The docs encourage prefixing keys, but it can't be enforced, right? wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/He

  10. How and why did Wikipedia became a multi-datacenter deployment?

    This is an introduction post chronicling our seven-year journey, the MediaWiki infrastructure improvements made along the way, and the reasons/benefits for each change.
