Notes

Shared notes: https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/mwstake-2019-06

1. (Greg) Upgraded all his wikis to 1.32.2 using Meza
   • Asked if anyone else had, nobody volunteered, Greg is ahead of the game.
2. (Mark) MWStake now has a bank account
3. (Lex) Presented update on SMWCon 2019
   • Asked for feedback on the new conference front page's 3 bullet points
     • (Mark) Voiced his approval, especially #3
     • (Lex) Mentioned that Airy mentioned both SMW and EMW be mentioned since it was EMWCon 2019 in Daly city that gained his involvement in the group
     • (Sabine) What is the difference between "MW Data" and "SMW Data"
       • (Sabine, Cindy, & Mark) Maybe change the first bullet to "knowledge" vs. data
   • (Lex) One track or multiple track conference?
     • (Lex) Wolfgang and Marie only are interested in the talks and they may represent other's views as well?
     • (Cindy) We might want to consider their (Wolfgang & Marie) views as proxies for others, although we shouldn't design the conference around it
     • (Cindy) Doesn't like the create camps and tutorials sprinkled through the conference
     • (Lex) OK, so create camps and tutorials at the end
   • (Lex) Would like to have conference swag like Meza installed on a Raspberry Pi but doesn't have the time to work out the bugs
     • ACTION ITEM (Mark) I will work with Daren for Meza on Rasberry Pi
   • (Lex) ACTION ITEM Regarding the "Participation Pool", I will contact my short list to help fund the conference with companies in the MediaWiki space, they will receive marketing based on their contribution
