Greetings,


We are happy to announce the Indic Wikimedia Hackathon 2023 by Indic MediaWiki Developers User Group!


This exciting event is set to take place on the 16-17 December 2023. We invite all enthusiastic contributors, developers, translators, designers, technical writers, and anyone passionate about Wikimedia's technical spaces to join us.


Event Details:

At the Indic Wikimedia Hackathon 2023, you can:

  • Collaborate on technical projects
  • Contribute to Wikimedia's development
  • Address technical challenges and bugs
  • Brainstorm tooling ideas
  • Network with fellow contributors


The event is for everyone who contributes to Wikimedia’s technical spaces, code developers, maintainers, translators, designers, technical writers and other related technical aspects. Along with that, contributors who don't necessarily contribute to technical spaces but have good understanding of issues on wikis and can work with developers in addressing them can join too. You can come with a project in mind, join an existing project, or create something new with others. The goal of this event is to bring together technical contributors from India to resolve pending technical issues, bugs, brainstorm on tooling ideas, and foster connections between contributors. 


Scholarships are offered to assist you in attending the event, which will cover expenses such as travel, accommodation, food, and related costs. The deadline for scholarship applications is 15 October 2023 (Sunday).
