Dear Wikimedians,
We hope you are well.

for the Indic
Wikimedia Hackathon Bhubaneswar 2024 is approaching. The due date is *a day
away (i.e. tomorrow)*. Please submit your applications on or before 2
November 2024 (Saturday).
This event is hosted by the Indic MediaWiki Developers User Group
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Indic_MediaWiki_Developers_User_Group> (aka
Indic-TechCom) in collaboration with the Odia Wikimedians User Group
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Odia_Wikimedians_User_Group> and will take
place in Bhubaneswar during 20-22 December 2024.
Wikimedia hackathons are spaces for developers, designers, content editors,
and other community stakeholders to collaborate on building technical
solutions that help improve the experience of contributors and consumers of
Wikimedia projects. The event is intended for:
- Technical contributors active in the Wikimedia technical ecosystem,
which includes developers, maintainers (admins/interface admins),
translators, designers, researchers, documentation writers, etc.
- Content contributors who have an in-depth understanding of technical
issues in their home Wikimedia projects, such as Wikipedia, Wikisource,
Wiktionary, etc., and can give developers their insights into how the
tool/application/template should work.
- Contributors to any other FOSS community or have participated in
Wikimedia events in the past, and would like to get started with
contributing to Wikimedia technical spaces.
We encourage you to follow the essential details & updates on Meta-Wiki
regarding this event.
