Adding Quim to see if we can get this put on the schedule.

I believe the deadline for submitting talk proposals was October 2 (a month ago). See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Developer_Summit_2016#Call_for_participation.

Well, yes, the deadline for new proposals is well behind us now. Also note that presentations and tutorials are explicitly discouraged during the Summit.

What about this plan B:

• You join and support the ongoing proposals relevant to the MediaWiki Stakeholders Group i.e. T89907: Discuss and approve a MediaWiki developer community governance model.
• We all discuss a potential quarterly goal for Developer-Advocacy about the strategy for MediaWiki third party users and developers. Just create a task with your questions or proposals.
• We arrange a meeting between the MediaWiki Stakeholders Group and whoever needs to be involved at the Wikimedia Foundation, on Wednesday, January 6.

Beyond the important detail of the passed deadline, I think it is also time to move from general sessions where we all end up saying "yes, this needs to be clarified; we have to do something" to focused discussions and actions assigned.

Totally agreed. Thanks for your comments.

MediaWiki-Stakeholders-Group will be meeting to figure out the next steps. Thanks for the direction, @Qgil.

@Qgil, @cicalese and I will be there. Can we get a meeting with community and arch leads like @RobLa-WMF, etc? We plan to flush out what we'd like to discuss over the next month or so.

@MarkAHershberger please create a task for this meeting and CC @Rfarrand and me. We will help organizing this meeting.
