For more details, read below. > > Who: The Hackathon is for anyone who contributes (or wants to contribute to) > to Wikimedia’s technical areas - as code creators, maintainers, translators, > designers, technical writers and other technical roles. You can come with a > project in mind, join an existing project, or create something new with > others. The choice is yours! Newcomers are welcome. > > We will send out more information on how to schedule a session in the program > soon. You can also add yourself to the participants list > <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2022/Participants>, and > mention if you would like to help with tasks such as facilitation or > welcoming newcomers. There will be scholarship stipends available- please > stay tuned for more information. > > What: A Wikimedia Hackathon <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Hackathons> is a > space for the technical community to come together and work together on > technical projects, learn from each other, and make new friends. > > When: May 20-May 22. The schedule will be announced shortly. We are trying to > plan events so that people in all time zones can participate comfortably. > There will be core hours several times a day when most events will occur, and > online social and hacking spaces open 24 hours a day throughout the three > days. > > Where: The Hackathon will primarily be held online.
