Coordinating projects and plans for software development work

Etherpad

Documentation from etherpad

Facilitator:

Duration (min): 30

Lead: Maarten Dammers

Description:

What plans do chapters have for development work and what experiences can we share? Each chapter can give a brief intro of what they are doing in terms of software development and service infrastructure (everything, not just MediaWiki - also e.g. donation portals and stuff like that). This session can be used to exchange experiences and perhaps find a way to share development and avoid duplicate work.
