Hope too to get WUaS MediaWiki up and running again and begin developing with it in especially SPARQL and OWL, i.e. with machine learning,.

Lightning Talks
The monthly Lightning Talks are an opportunity for teams @ WMF and in the Community to showcase a milestone, recent and exciting developments, or releases to the rest of the foundation and the movement as a whole, as these talks will be open to our communities. These talks are open to all WMF staff members to attend or present.
Teams can sign up for a ten-minute slot for their presentation and should present something more substantial than a sprint iteration. Each presentation should be 10 minutes or less. The formal part should be no longer than 5 minutes, the remainder is for questions.
Too many questions to answer in the allotted time? No worries, your lightning talk will be a great candidate for a future Tech Talk.

The Lightning Talks are hosted at the Wikimedia Foundation typically every 4th Tuesday of the month at 11:00 Pacific Time in the 5th Floor Collab Space. The schedule may change, see below for a list of confirmed Lightning Talks.
The Lightning Talks will be presented via Google Hangout for remotees to watch live or stream later. A link to watch the meeting live will be provided in advance of the talks and a YouTube recording will be provided following each event. You can also join the conversation and participate in Q&A after each Lightning Talk by connecting to the IRC channel:

A/V Tips for Presenting[edit | edit source]
WMF's Office IT has created two one-page documents to help presenters be most effective when presenting to an audience on the 5th floor lounge and a remote audience.
- Local presenters please read the 5th Floor Lounge Presentation - One Sheet.
- Remote presenters, please read the Google Hangouts Remote - One Sheet.
Another good resource to prepare is the Best practices in giving a Wikimedia presentation in the 5th Floor Lounge.
