Hello all, As a reminder, scholarship applications for the Wikimedia Hackathon are open until the end of the week. If you're considering attending, feel free to apply! We will have a few scholarships for people working on Wikidata-related tools or Wikibase. Cheers, Léa

This is a final reminder that registration for the Wikimedia Hackathon is closing for volunteers requesting a scholarship or visa and WMF staff in three days on 9 February. Registration link and more details about the event can be found here on Mediawiki.org https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2020/Register.

Special thanks to Wiki Tech Storm organizers for helping us to re-think our newcomer program to be even more friendly and easy to navigate and to the GLAM community for coming up with so many good ideas so far. :) Once staff and scholarships are confirmed (around 21 Feb) you can begin to follow our progress on the newly opened Hackathon Workboard on Phabricator https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/4551/ as people add their projects and session ideas.

We are here to help, so please send an email if you have any questions or ideas. :)

Hello! This is a reminder that 10 days from now (9 February) is the deadline for volunteers requesting a scholarship or visa and WMF staff to register for the Wikimedia Hackathon 2020 in Tirana. After that point the decision committees will begin work and we will not be able to accept any more applications so please make sure to register before then if you have an interest in attending. For those self-funding to attend this event, registration will remain open.

Again, please help make sure this is passed around to the relevant mailing lists. :) Thanks! We are here to help or answer questions that you may have.
