Change Details

There have been many discussions about opening up the Summit beyond the usual participation around wikitech-l and Wikimedia Foundation's Technology and Product departments. There is a will to put more emphasis in technical areas beyond MediaWiki core, extensions, and infrastructure (tools, gadgets, bots, templates, apps, third party uses of Wikimedia APIs...) There is a will to increase the participation of volunteer developers and third parties using Wikimedia APIs. Sponsored travel budget is a hard limitation, but it could be complemented with better options for remote participation (before, during, and after the event) and possibly also with better outreach in the SF Bay Area and North America. In this task we define which audiences we should reach, and how. Then we track progress and results.
