[event] [crossposting] Wiki-based Business Process Tooling at NASA: The Need for Open CSP
by Erica Litrenta 08 Feb '23

08 Feb '23

The Tech Department at Wikimedia Foundation [1] invites you to a* special event on February 09, 2023, at 1600 UTC* [2]. *Richard Evans, Electronics & Data Systems Engineer At NASA Glenn Research Center *[3], will be presenting on *how MediaWiki is being used within NASA* to help manage the testing of very large spacecraft to prove they can survive the harsh conditions of launch, orbit, and re-entry. The management platform is built from MediaWiki and several key extensions that provide workflow support. This evolving platform plans to incorporate the extensions that form the MediaWiki-powered Open CSP platform [4]. This talk will explain the architecture and benefits of the NASA platform and motivate the need for Open CSP. We’ll also be recording the event to share with those who can’t make it. You can join the event through Google Meet [5]. Looking forward to seeing you there, *--on behalf of the Tech Department, Wikimedia Foundation.* *(For follow-ups, please reach out to *lnguyen(a)wikimedia.org.)
