Conferencia de usuarios y desarrolladores de Media Wiki otoño 2024
The MediaWiki Users and Developers Conference, Spring 2024 (MWUD, U&D, #MWcon, retroactively named MUDCon), formerly EMWCon, was held from April 17-19, 2024 in Portland, Oregon, United States. The conference was organized by the MediaWiki Stakeholders' Group with the help of its sponsors and partners.
The Users and Developers Conference was a three-day conference featuring discussions of topics related to the usage of MediaWiki software by and within companies, non-profits, governments, organizations, and communities. If you use MediaWiki or you're interested in it, we would love to see you attend.
Sessions were recorded and streamed. While this was primarily an in-person conference, the conference also featured some remote presentations.
