Hello everyone,

The event will take place from *Friday 21st to Sunday 23rd May*, across various time zones.

As mentioned earlier, the hackathon will have *one main track and two open rooms*. We’re excited to announce the main track sessions for the event: Hackathon Schedule https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2021/Schedule!
