This year’s Wikimedia Hackathon 2017 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2017 will be held in Vienna, Austria from 19-21 May. Ideally we will announce the host for 2017 before the end of March, 2017 so that the 2018 organizers can attend the Vienna Hackathon and start gathering ideas. If multiple chapters or organizations are interested, we hope to work together to figure out the the best solution.
Any organizations interested in hosting should please create a Phabricator ticket and associate it with the Developer-Relations project. Srishti and I are happy to assist if needed.

Please email me at rfarrand@wikimedia.org with any questions or concerns. I am not on the chapters@ list, so if there is anything that I should respond to, make sure to keep me on CC. Also please forward this email anywhere you think it might be useful.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
