Thanks Sumana, This is a great news for many techno-aspirants, there are many students who are quite interested in the MediaWiki developments rather than WP editing. Hope to see many Indic language developers and translators there :) regards Subha On 14 December 2011 22:54, Sumana Harihareswara &lt;sumanah(a)wikimedia.org&gt;wrote;wrote: -- * ସୁ ଭ * * S u b h a * *ଓଡ଼ିଆଉଇକିପିଡ଼ିଆ* *O d i a W i k i M a i l i n g l i s t*<https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikipedia-or> <http://facebook.com/subhashishp> <http://twitter.com/subhashishp><http://or.wikipedia.org>

Hi Srikanth, On Wed, Dec 14, 2011 at 6:37 PM, Srikanth Ramakrishnan < parakara.ghoda(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: Why would that be a silly question? We have only just announced the event, as soon as possible, without have a detailed schedule or topic overview. Nothing potentially relevant is off the table beforehand, though, so please stay tuned! In about an hour we have the WMF internal kickoff, and I hope we will be able to communicate some topics before the year ends. No guarantees though, because I'll probably not be the project manager of the hackathon ;). -- Siebrand Mazeland Product Manager Localisation Wikimedia Foundation M: +31 6 50 69 1239 Skype: siebrand Support Free Knowledge: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate

Op 15 dec. 2011 om 09:38 heeft Srikanth Ramakrishnan &lt;parakara.ghoda(a)gmail.com&gt; het volgende geschreven: There are multiple interpretations of that question, I think. I'll try to cover all interpretations I can think of. FYI: This is all tentative. Yesterday we came up with a focus for this developer event on gadgets, mobile and language support. The Wikimedia Foundation will have to ensure that there is a healthy seed ratio. A seed here is someone knowledgeable enough to actually transfer knowledge about the technology and bring the junior level attendees (hopefully) to a higher skill and knowledge level, so that they in turn will be able to create more value by themselves and are motivated to be more engaged. For now, it looks like we may be able to have between 8 and 10 people of the Wikimedia Foundation staff attend. That means we can have a maximum of about 50 attendees for the in depth sessions. As we have seen during the developer events in Mumbai and Pune a few weeks ago, we will probably get a group of people that will be interested in very different things. Mobile has both client side "app" components, as well as MediaWiki core and extension components - the scope is not necessarily India here, although communities in India can of course benefit from generic features. For gadgets, especially when we are talking global gadgets, a feature of the upcoming ResourceLoader2 (short: RL2), things like internationalisation and localisation may be a point of interest, but hard core JavaScript/jQuery user contributed feature development for multiple wikis could also be an area of interest. India or global? You tell me :). Language support probably IS going to be aimed at India. It hardly makes sense to focus on for example African language support from Pune; we should try and make the most out of the very diverse knowledge pool that a national knowledge and education centre like Pune has to offer. That's all I have to share for now. Hope it can satisfy your hunger for information for now! I expect that Sumana will be making more formal announcements soon wrt to eligibility, registration, etc. shortly. -- Siebrand Mazeland M: +31 6 50 69 1239 Skype: siebrand
