**Participants**, please read/think about/research these, ahead of time: * Session description: ** In this session we will explore what it means to embrace open source software and how we can utilize Wikimedia’s already existing strengths to help the wider Open Source Community as a whole * Session Goals: ** Formulate the direction and general focus areas to concentrate on to have Wikimedia be a leader in relevant Open Source tools for the wider Open Source community * Guiding topics ** The WMF should commit to using open source internally even when inconvenient ** The WMF should commit to being truly open source (easy install, good docs, easy to contribute) ** The WMF should commit to encouraging downstream usage of WMF libraries ** The WMF should commit to being involved with upstream projects * Pre-event questions for discussion ** What tools do we develop that will help the wider Open Source community deliver knowledge to the world? (eg, Language support, etc) ** What aspects of MediaWiki are useful to work both in- and out of the MediaWiki environment, to benefit tool/Wikimedia Cloud developers or wider OSS communities ** How can we keep our software to the same standards we hold other open-source software? ** How can we influence the larger OSS community? (Are there other external tools we should upstream to, or participate in, etc) ** Are there problems/challenges that we are in a position to help solve for ourselves and other OSS communities? ** How can we outreach and market our open source code and tooling ** Can this strategy help in scaling the contributor experience? Allowing more contributors participate in wider-impact tools for the OSS community at large? ** Tools outside mediawiki, i.e cumin, pybal as a standalone tool. ** In which focus area we have a unique value we can lead in (c.f language support, data related tooling, * Related position statements: ** https://wikifarm.wmflabs.org/devsummit/index.php/Session:8 * Related background reading: ** Current libraries: *** Wikimedia jQuery i18n library: https://github.com/wikimedia/jquery.i18n (Missing some features from mw.msg) *** Intuition PHP library: https://github.com/Krinkle/intuition (Missing some features from mw.msg) *** Experimental test to extract some OOUI computational features into a separate jQuery plugin, and a test to show it works both in ooui and non-ooui environment *** https://github.com/mooeypoo/oojs-jquery (‘clippable’ jQuery plugin standalong and inside ooui) *** https://github.com/stephanebisson/reclip (‘clippable’ jQuery plugin in react) *** https://cumin.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ **Session notes**: * https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/devsummit18-embracingopensourcesoftware ---- **Topic Leaders** (@Matanya @MSchottlender-WMF @Jamesmontalvo3), please * Add more details to this task description, * Coordinate any pre-event discussions (here, IRC, email, hangout, etc), * Outline the plan for discussing this topic at the Developer Summit. * Optionally, include what it will //not// try to solve. * Update this task with summaries of any pre-event discussions. * Include ways for people not attending to be involved in discussions before the summit and afterwards.
