Hello all,
As you may have heard, the Wikimedia Hackathon
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2023> is back in person
on May 19-21 in Athens, Greece. We are now opening the registration form
that also includes an optional scholarship application form open until
January 14th.
Registration is required to attend the onsite Wikimedia Hackathon in
Athens. The registration form remains open until we reach the capacity of
the venue (around 220 people). The event is free of charge - participants
are expected to book their travel arrangements individually, unless they
are granted a scholarship.
You can register here by getting yourself a (free) ticket for the hackathon!
<https://pretix.eu/wikimedia/wmhack2023/> (see also the detailed
instructions
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2023/Participate#Registr…>
)
In order to support the technical community and participants from diverse
backgrounds, the Wikimedia Foundation provides scholarships that cover
travel and accommodation for a selected number of technical contributors.
The application form is part of the registration process, and is open
until January
14th. You can find more information about the scholarship process,
committee and criteria on the related page
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2023/Participate#Scholar…>
.
The registration and scholarship application form runs with Pretix, an open
source third-party service, which may subject it to additional terms. For
more information on privacy and data-handling, see the privacy statement
<https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Legal:Wikimedia_Hackathon_2023_regist…>

page <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Hackathon_2023/Connect>
and the other channels listed here

scholarship application, feel free to reach out to the organization team on
