Hi Everyone,
On behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation's Hackathon Organizing team, I am
thrilled to share the exciting news that the 2024 Wikimedia Hackathon is
scheduled to unfold in the captivating city of Tallinn, Estonia
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tallinn>, from May 3rd - 5th 2024!
The Wikimedia Hackathon is an annual event, uniting the global technical
community in a dynamic gathering focused on connection, innovation, and
building really cool projects. At this event, technical contributors
hailing from all corners of the globe converge with a shared mission: to
enhance the technological infrastructure and software that underpins and
empowers Wikimedia projects. For this exceptional 2024 edition, the
Wikimedia Foundation is joining forces with WMEE, the official local
chapter of the Wikimedia Foundation in Estonia
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Eesti>, to bring you an
unforgettable experience.
The theme for this edition aligns with last year's, emphasizing the
gathering of individuals who have a track record of contributing to the
technical aspects of Wikimedia projects. We're looking for those who are
versed in navigating the technical ecosystem and are adept at working
autonomously or collaborating effectively on projects.
While the majority of our event will unfold onsite, we're excited to share
that certain parts of the program will be broadcasted online, ensuring
accessibility to a wider audience. We warmly encourage local communities to
host pre-hackathon events or meetups. In the coming months, these pages
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2024> will be your
go-to resource for comprehensive details on attendance procedures, venue
specifics, travel recommendations, accommodation options, and scholarship
opportunities. Stay tuned!
The next milestone on our journey is just around the corner. Registration
and scholarship applications are set to open Monday November 27th (see
timeline <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2024#Timeline>).
Be sure to keep an eye on the talk page, mediawiki page
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2024>and your inbox
for consistent updates.
Should you have any inquiries or wish to get in touch with the coordination
team, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at hackathon@wikimedia.org,
or share your thoughts on the talk page
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2024/Discussions> of
the hackathon.
We are really looking forward to welcoming you again at the Hackathon, and
we hope that you are also excited to join and hack together!
