[Felipe Schenone]

Hi!
I'm a MediaWiki developer from Argentina and I've refrained from going to
any more Wikimedia Hackathons since Vienna 2017, because of the high carbon
emissions that my participation would cause. I'd also love to see a
solution that allows me to participate without having to travel half the
world.
Kind regards,

Hi tim.h...@gmx.de,

Thank you for sharing your perspective on the Wikimedia Hackathon 2024. We
appreciate your preference for virtual or decentralized events, especially
considering the environmental impact of long-distance travel.

We'll keep your thoughts in mind as we continue to evolve and improve the
format of the Wikimedia Hackathon in the coming years. If you have any
further suggestions or specific ideas, feel free to share them. Your input
is crucial in shaping the direction of our events.

Best regards,

[Wikimedia-l] Announcing the Wikimania 2024 dates and venue

[Wikipedysta Nadzik]

Hi everyone!

It is my great pleasure to inform you that Wikimania 2024 will happen on 7-10
August 2024 at International Congress Centre

in Katowice, Poland .

Katowice is a UNESCO City of Music
, home to many
cultural institutions and in 2024 it will be a  European City of Science
. Situated in the
heart of the region, it highlights some of the best of Silesia–rich history
and folklore, interesting architecture, and distinct local language and
cuisine! Well-connected, it is also a great place from which you can
explore the rest of the country.

Wikimania Dates

The main part of Wikimania is scheduled to happen from 7th to 10th of
August. 6tf of August is already designated as a pre-conference about which
we will share more information later.



Why Katowice?

We decided to shift the location to Katowice from Kraków due to unforeseen
complications out of our control with our original selected venue. It was
critical for us to find an ideal event space for Wikimania with the right
facilities, provisions and a great location. We also wanted it to
accommodate more general space for informal catch-ups and hangouts, our own
bespoke areas and enough meeting rooms for all the event needs. We were
also looking for cities that would give a similarly exciting cultural
experience for attendees. We were able to find all of that at the International
Congress Centre

in Katowice. We are confident that ICC will meet all of our event needs,
and that Katowice and the surrounding area will offer attendees an
enriching experience with its fascinating history, outstanding amenities, a
range of local cafes and restaurants, and rich cultural institutions–all
within walking distance to the main venue.

I would like to thank you all for your patience and excitement for the
upcoming Wikimania. We cannot wait to meet you all in Katowice next summer

Get your scholarship application in now

Scholarships for Wikimania 2024 are open

and will close on the 18th of December. We look forward to receiving
applications from across our community and welcoming both scholars and
attendees to the wonderful city of Katowice!
