Hello all,
You might have already heard the buzz: the Wikimedia Hackathon is gearing
up for an incredible event in Tallinn, Estonia
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tallinn>, from May 3rd - 5th, 2024. Now,
we're thrilled to announce that the Registration form is now open
<https://pretix.eu/wikimedia/wmhackathon2024/>! The Registration form also
includes an optional Scholarship application
<https://pretix.eu/wikimedia/wmhackathon2024/>
<https://pretix.eu/wikimedia/wmhackathon2024/>which will run until January
5th 2024.
Participation in the onsite Wikimedia Hackathon in Tallinn is contingent
upon registration. The registration portal will remain accessible until we
hit our venue's capacity, which is approximately set at 220 participants.
Here's the exciting part: the event itself is entirely free of charge
ensuring that everyone has an opportunity to join us. Please note that
participants are required to make individual travel arrangements unless
they have been awarded a scholarship.
