Dear sir, madam
Wikimedia Nederland is organizing her very first Women Tech Storm.
This event is a small female-only hackathon. It is also open for non-binary people. It will be held in The Hague from 10-12 May 2018.
It will be an extended weekend filled with hacking together with other interested developers.
The Hackathon has two targeted groups. One group exists of female and non-binary developers with some experience programming outside Wikimedia and who would like to learn Wikimedia coding. The other group consists of women and non-binary people who are already acquainted with Wikimedia projects and are interested in learning the coding side of the projects. You can learn how to make a query with SPARQL or learn to master Python.
The Women Tech Storm - part I will be followed by Part II. This event will be in October/November and is open for all genders.
Participation is free of charge and it includes entrance, meals and hotel: we ask of people participating to join us in Part II.
Please see the registration form or our page on mediawiki.org for more information.
If you have any questions, please email to Hackathon@wikimedia.nl
On behalf of the work group,
Kind regards,
Michelle Boon Event Organiser & Community Support Wikimedia Nederland
