Notes

1. Meeting timing
   • Some confusion over the meeting timing.
   • (Georgios) UTC 15:30 (7:30am PST, 10:30am EST, 4:30pm CET) works best for Australian users.
   • The UTC time was keep standard but the US daylight saving time change caused low meeting turn-out. In the future, keeping the same time in the US seems preferred.
   • We need to work on a better communication method. Cindy, Rich, and Bryan to work together on improving communication.
2. (Markus) Wikimedia Summit
   • Markus is planning on going as long as nobody else has any issue.
   • The Summit dates conflict with EMWCon 2020
     • Better for carbon footprint if someone from Europe attends the Summit
   • Markus requested inputs for agenda items he can bring to the Summit
   • (Gergo) I might be there in some capacity as well
3. (Markus) MWStake Annual Reporting
   • We need to create a list of "things we did" in 2019 similar to previous years (2018):
   • As we formalize, we need to document our financing
4. (Rich) EMWCon 2020
   • Yaron agreed to front the money
   • Contract with Kalahari Conference Center is being finalized and hopefully will be signed later today
   • Please wait for the conference code to be announced to get the conference rates
   • Who can help with taking on the role of a Chair? Cindy said her arm could be twisted.
5. Brian Wolff is back at the WMF
   • (Brian) discussed his new role and some security related topics
   • Proposal for Content-Security-Policy HTTP header on Wikimedia Wikis (Manual for CSP Header)
   • Content Security Policy (CSP) lets websites determine who they talk to
     • Prevents Cross-site Scripting
     • (Markus) How does the CSP support policy work?
       • (Brian) Typical usecase - Prevent Google Analytics, prevents inline Javascript, limits Cross-site Scripting
6. PageFoms Discussion
   • Based on WikiJournals recent request for using PageForms from their Technical Wishlist
   • (Brian) Some things that would help get PageForms accepted by the WMF
     • Important to align with WMF's code policy
     • Adding Unit Tests
     • Get internal Champion
     • Could English Wikipedia add it to their Wishlist? They usually get what they ask for.
     • Refactoring some of the most complex parts
7. (Gergo) Parsoid
   • Used to be Node.js, now rewritten in PHP
   • It's live now and seems to have decent performance benefits
8. (Gergo) Global Templates
   • Proposed specification
