=== Upcoming events ===
* Fri March 1 2019 meeting will be at 10:30 eastern time. https://mwstake.org/mwstake/wiki/Event:84 Use the blue jeans link.

* [[Event:51|Feb 10 phone call]] is at 10am Eastern time
* EMWCon 2017 will include a March 8 evening editathon which I am co-organizing, and my lightning talk

=== MediaWiki in governments ===
I am a good contact for MediaWiki users in government establishments. I work in the U.S. government and have been a longtime advocate of MediaWiki there. Can email me from here or post to my discussion page here or maybe more effectively on en.wikipedia.org.

=== Role for Stakeholders in engineering coordination or planning ===
I asked: when has MW engineering done something difficult because stakeholders didn't speak up? I got several answers, mostly in a lunchtime conversation at SMWCon 2015:
* hit counters disappeared, summer 2015
* The new functionality in Flow used something called "handlebars" which was different from other internal architecture and experienced developers were dragged along into learning it
* The new functionality Node.js ("micro services?") wandered in as part of Visual Editor and this makes it hard to get Visual Editor going on servers outside the Foundation.
* PHP Composer wandered in and broke things for some wiki farms, badly, requiring a lot of reengineering

Two ways to avoid such dramas:
* have a road map so people know what's coming and can negotiate, discuss, plan
* confer with Stakeholders when turning technical corners
