[Wikitech-l] Wikimedia Hackathon May 9th - 11th in Zürich - Upcoming Registration Deadline
Dear all, as you all know the next Wikimedia Hackathon takes place in Zürich, Switzerland. Registration is already open for a while and we already passed the deadlines for scholarships and visa assistance. Thanks to the WMF and several chapters we could assign 29 scholarships to participants and facilitate 10 visa applications. This Sunday we need to close the accommodation booking. So if you want to participate in the Wikimedia Hackathon and you want us to book a bed for you, please register NOW. Fill in this form to register: * https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1nlrQ7cox36xaNK1u9iKP-thogY5TVrilOGJR79DqQ9A/viewform We have 15 beds left until the Youth Hostel is fully booked, 144 participants have registered so far. If you do not need an accommodation provided by us you have more time. Still we would be in favor if you could register soon, so we can adjust the number of t-shirts, badges etc. Last minute registrations on site are possible but then don't expect us to have surplus swag left for you ;-) More information on the event, the location and the program can be found here: * https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Z%C3%BCrich_Hackathon_2014 Please also those who have already registered review the suggested sessions and workshops, add your support or your own submission, to help the program team to prepare some good sessions for you! See you soon in Zürich, Manuel -- Wikimedia CH - Verein zur Förderung Freien Wissens Lausanne, +41 (21) 34066-22 - www.wikimedia.ch ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

This is great news!

Yep, next week we will start defining a schedule based on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Z%C3%BCrich_Hackathon_2014/Topics Just like with beds and swag, you will be able to land at the event and run a session somewhere. However, if you want to be sure about time, space, or other requirements, then leave your feedback and signature at the /Topics page. See you soon in Zürich, Let me add something important: Wikimedia Switzerland and other volunteers involved in the organization of this event are going beyond our best expectations designing an event and executing a plan. I hope you still have energies to write a making-of report after the event, for the WMF and chapters, the tech community, and whoever else is interested in running a Wikimedia hackathon in the future. -- Quim Gil Engineering Community Manager @ Wikimedia Foundation http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Qgil ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
