Hi Tpt!
I'm so glad you can participate, I'm really really happy.
Regarding the hackathon in the pre-conference,
I'm not sure: we are expecting roughly 50 participants in the conference,
and I hope them to be more, but we have to keep our expectations low.
There aren't many wikisourcians in Wien, so probably most of the attendees
would need
some sort of scholarships, and find the funding for 50 scholarships is not
an easy goal.
We will need a lot of chapters to cooperate, and for that, we need all the
help we can find.
So, you all, please talk with your chapter, if you have one:
it would be very important if every chapter can provide few scholarships.
For the hackathon, what do you think about a whole day during the
conference?
Or even a room that is dedicated to that during all the 3 days?
Or do you prefer a 2-3 hour event but for all participants?
We are able to decide.
Aubrey

Thank you so much for organising this event!
I am able to attend (yeah!) and ready to act as the fallback guy if there
is no other volunteer to do technical talks.
Are some people interested to organise a small Wikisource hackathon before
the conference (I'll be on holidays the week before the conference)?
Cheers,
Thomas

I think this is a good initiative and it will offer GLAM enthusiasts
like me the chance to learn more about WS so I can start editing WS
and also incorporate that into our GLAM project with the Libraries.
