[GLAM] WMF Language team office hour and online meeting on March 22, 2017 (Wednesday) at 1300 UTC

[Runa Bhattacharjee]

[x-posted announcement]


Hello,

The next online office hour session of the Wikimedia Language team is
scheduled for Wednesday, March 22nd, 2017 at 13:00 UTC. In this session we
would like to initiate a conversation about compact language links[1
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Universal_Language_Selector/Compact_Language_Links>]
- a feature that was recently introduced on many wikis to improve cross
wiki navigation using the interlanguage lists. We would also like to
present about some of the changes that we have observed[2
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Universal_Language_Selector/Compact_Language_Links/metrics/data>]
after compact links were enabled on these wikis.

This session is going to be an online discussion over Google
Hangouts/Youtube with a simultaneous IRC conversation. Due to the
limitation of Google Hangouts, only a limited number of participation slots
are available. Hence, do please let us know in advance if you would like to
join in the Hangout. The IRC channel will be open for interactions during
the session.

Our last online round-table session was held in December 2016. You can
watch the recording here:

Please read below for the event details, including local time, youtube
session links and do let us know if you have any questions.

Thank you

Runa
