Dear Wikimedians,
We hope you are well.
We are thrilled to announce the upcoming Indic Wikimedia Hackathon
Bhubaneswar 2024, hosted by the Indic MediaWiki Developers User Group
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Indic_MediaWiki_Developers_User_Group> (aka
Indic-TechCom) in collaboration with the Odia Wikimedians User Group
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Odia_Wikimedians_User_Group>. The event
will take place in Bhubaneswar during 20-22 December 2024.
Wikimedia hackathons are spaces for developers, designers, content editors,
and other community stakeholders to collaborate on building technical
solutions that help improve the experience of contributors and consumers of
Wikimedia projects. The event is intended for:
-
Technical contributors active in the Wikimedia technical ecosystem,
which includes developers, maintainers (admins/interface admins),
translators, designers, researchers, documentation writers etc.
-
Content contributors having in-depth understanding of technical issues
in their home Wikimedia projects like Wikipedia, Wikisource, Wiktionary,
etc.
-
Contributors to any other FOSS community or have participated in
Wikimedia events in the past, and would like to get started with
contributing to Wikimedia technical spaces.
Drawing from our experiences with the past few hackathons, we are
introducing a slightly revised program format and participation structure
for the upcoming event. Traditionally, tasks are published a few days
before the event begins, and participants then select their preferred tasks
on the first day. While this approach works, it poses a challenge as some
participants may find themselves without tasks that align closely with
their skill sets or interests. Additionally, although bugs can be addressed
during the hackathon, measuring collective impact can be challenging. To
address this, we have curated the tasks for this hackathon so that a set of
tasks collectively contributes to the substantial development of a tool or
workflow, thereby progressing it to a stable version. We hope that this
approach not only fosters engagement during the event but also encourages
continued participation post-event, allowing developers to collaborate
further on tasks until they reach completion.
We encourage you to follow the essential details & updates on Meta-Wiki
regarding this event.
