Hi!
I'm a MediaWiki developer from Argentina and I've refrained from going to any more Wikimedia Hackathons since Vienna 2017, because of the high carbon emissions that my participation would cause. I'd also love to see a solution that allows me to participate without having to travel half the world.
Kind regards,

Hello,

I think it is great that there will be no fee to attend at the Wikimedia Hackathon 2024. I prefer virtual events or visiting a decentralized event nearby if an onsite attendence likely requires long distance travelling. At the moment I dont like to use a plane to travel to a place. From my point of view the enviromental impact of the Wikimedia Hackathon is very high. As I come from Germany I have the regular opportunity to meet other people who are participating in the Wikimedia projects and so this has an influence on my point of view. There are other chances to meet people who are involved in the Wikimedia projects. What do you think about the enviromental impact of the Wikimedia Hackathon. As you have announced it already I have no problem if the next Wikimedia Hackathon happens as an onsite event. For further editions of the Wikimedia Hackathon I hope that there will be a more decentralized version of it that helps to avoid long distance travelling where it seems to be possible.
