Hello all, *(with apologies for cross-posting)*
We’re happy to announce that the next annual Wikimedia Hackathon will be
taking place May 2nd - 4th, 2025 in Istanbul, Turkey
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2025>! This event is
being organized by the Wikimedia Foundation in collaboration with local
Wikimedia affiliate, Wikimedia Community User Group Turkey (WMTR)
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Community_User_Group_Turkey>.
The Wikimedia Hackathon is an annual event to bring the global technical
community together to connect, hack, and explore new ideas. Technical
contributors from all around the world come together to improve the
technological infrastructure and software that powers and benefits the
Wikimedia projects.
During the Hackathon, we will focus on bringing together people who have
already contributed to the many technical aspects of Mediawiki and our
Wikimedia projects, those who know how to find their way around on our
technical ecosystem, and who are able to work or collaborate on projects
rather autonomously.
The 2025 Hackathon will happen in-person, onsite at the Renaissance Polat
Istanbul Hotel
<https://www.marriott.com/en-us/hotels/istrn-renaissance-polat-istanbul-hote…>
, and we’ll have discounted room codes for those that want to stay at the
hotel venue, to be announced in the coming weeks.
For those unable to attend in person, we'll be live-streaming the Hackathon
opening ceremony and closing showcase. Local and global communities are
also welcome and encouraged to organize pre-hackathon events or related
meetups.
Next steps:
-
Event registration will open on November 12, 2024 and will close mid
April 2025, or earlier based on event capacity.
-
There are a limited number of scholarships that can be requested during
early registration and all scholarships provided will adhere to the WMF
travel policy
<https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Policy:Scholarship_travel_policy>
guidelines.
-
Scholarship requests will only be accepted for consideration
until December
10, 2024.
-
Mark your calendars and register early!
All participants will adhere to the Code of Conduct
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct> for Wikimedia technical
spaces and the Friendly Space Policy
<https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Policy:Friendly_space_policy>.
If you have any questions or would like to reach out to the organizing
team, feel free to email hackathon(a)wikimedia.org or comment on the talk page
<https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Wikimedia_Hackathon_2025&a…>.
