Did you know that volunteers are involved in planning, building, and maintaining the Cloud VPS and Toolforge projects as co-equals with paid staff from the Wikimedia Foundation? Since the start of the "Labs" project in 2011, one of the guiding principles for Wikimedia Cloud Services projects has been improving collaboration between Foundation staff and technical volunteers. Learn more about some of the policies and practices that are used to make this collaboration possible.

Panel discussion among WMF staff and volunteers either currently or previously involved as administrators for the Wikimedia Cloud Services Cloud VPS and/or Toolforge projects. Audience should leave the presentation with a basic understanding of how Phabricator, mailing lists, wiki pages, IRC, and video calls are used to enable collaborative decision making by a mix of staff and volunteer participants.
