Hello all, This email is a reminder to start proposing projects and sessions for this year’s Wikimania hackathon, taking place on August 13th (the first day of Wikimania). You may have already seen the announcement email last week with all the details. This year’s hackathon will take place in a 24 hrs format covering all time zones. You can start proposing a session or a project by following the guidelines here: < https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2021:Hackathon#Propose_a_project_or_a_… [1]. We also encourage folks to reuse the video of a previously recorded session (in lecture format) to organize a watch party-style session. And, you can pause during or after for questions and discussions. That way, you have to do less prep, and one can watch your session at any time during the event. There isn't a specific focus area proposed this time, so your session or project needn't fit under a theme. Anything that involves MediaWiki development or covers a technical area in the Wikimedia ecosystem. Plus, we welcome sessions that would be helpful to newcomers–new to the event, our technical spaces, or projects. If you have any questions, feel free to use the related talk page to contact the organizing team or join the community conversation on Telegram: <https://t.me/wikimaniachat> [2]. We look forward to your participation!
