Date: Wednesday, May 21, 2014<br>Subject: Process for proposing Wikimedia hackathons<br>To: Wikimedia developers &lt;<a href="mailto:wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org">wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org</a>&gt;<br><br><br>Hi, in Zürich I took one action to define a process to propose and select Wikimedia hackathons. The topic came when discussing how to define the location of the next European hackathon, and it was also mentioned when discussing the possibility to start organizing an annual hackathon in India.<div>

<br></div><div>There is a draft available at <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Hackathons" target="_blank">https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Hackathons</a></div><div><br></div><div>Feedback welcome.</div><div><br></div>
<div>The page includes guidelines for candidates proposing a hackathon. Even if this is a draft, I think they are already useful for anybody thinking on proposing the Wikimedia Hackathon 2015 in Europe, as well as a developer event in India or elsewhere.</div>

<div><br></div><div>As soon as we agree on the basics of the draft, we will advertize it further at wikimedia-l to make sure that all chapters and other WM orgs are aware of it, and hopefully budget for it as organizers and/or travel sponsors.</div>
