Hello everyone,
Wikimedia Hackathon 2021https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2021 is this week!
The event will take place from Friday 21st to Sunday 23rd May, across various time zones.
As mentioned earlier, the hackathon will have one main track and two open rooms. We’re excited to announce the main track sessions for the event: Hackathon Schedulehttps://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2021/Schedule! Please note that this schedule is still under construction and subject to change.
You can still propose sessions for the open room (deadline: 19th May, 2021) by creating a Phabricator task using this templatehttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/1/?title=%5BSession%5D%20Provide%20a%20descriptive%20title%20for%20your%20session&description=**Username%20or%20display%20name%20(will%20be%20displayed%20publicly)%3A**%0D%0A%0D%0A**Categories%2FTags%2FKeywords%20(up%20to%205)%3A**%0D%0A%0D%0A%2F%2FList%20some%20tags%20to%20let%20participants%20quickly%20get%20an%20idea%20about%20the%20session%2C%20for%20example%3A%20Documentation%2C%20Maintenance%2C%20Open%20source%20tools%20for%20events%2C%20Wikidata%2C%20Wikipedia%2C%20Gadgets%2C%20etc.%2F%2F%0D%0A%0D%0A**Session%20type%20(select%20one)%3A**%0D%0A%0D%0A-%20%5B%20%5D%20Presentation%20(including%20Q%2FA)%20-%2025%20mins%0D%0A-%20%5B%20%5D%20Discussion%20(including%20Q%2FA)%20-%2055%20mins%0D%0A-%20%5B%20%5D%20Workshop%20(including%20Q%2FA)%20-%2055%20mins%0D%0A-%20%5B%20%5D%20Lightning%20talk%20-%205%20mins%0D%0A%0D%0A**Venue%20(select%20one)%3A**%0D%0A%0D%0A%5B%20%5D%20I%20would%20like%20to%20be%20on%20the%20main%20track%0D%0A%5B%20%5D%20I%20wouldn%27t%20mind%20being%20on%20the%20main%20track%0D%0A%5B%20%5D%20I%20need%20a%20Jitsi%20room%20for%20the%20session%0D%0A%0D%0A**When%20are%20you%20available%20to%20have%20the%20session%3F%20**%0D%0A%0D%0A%2F%2FPlease%20share%20your%20availability%20on%2022%20-%2023%20May%20in%20UTC%20or%20%5B%5B%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.worldtimebuddy.com%2F%20%7C%20your%20local%20time%20zone%20%5D%5D%2F%2F%0D%0A%0D%0A%23%23%23%20Session%20Details%0D%0A%0D%0A**Short%20description%20of%20the%20session%20(~150%20words)%3A**%0D%0A%0D%0A%2F%2FDescribe%20what%20your%20session%20is%20about%2F%2F%0D%0A%0D%0A**Target%20audience%3A**%0D%0A%0D%0A%2F%2FWho%20is%20this%20session%20most%20relevant%20to%3F%20For%20example%3A%20new%20contributors%2C%20maintainers%2C%20documentarians%2C%20first-time%20attendees%2C%20etc.%2F%2F%0D%0A%0D%0A**What%20will%20participants%20get%20out%20of%20this%20session%3F%20(~50%20words)**%0D%0A%0D%0A%2F%2FThink%20about%20the%20end-goals%20of%20this%20session%2F%2F%0D%0A%0D%0A**(Optional)%20Additional%20resources%3A**%0D%0A%0D%0A%2F%2FShare%20any%20documentation%20or%20links%20where%20participants%20can%20learn%20more%20about%20the%20session%20topics%2F%2F%0D%0A&projects=Wikimedia-Hackathon-2021.
