Hi, in Zürich I took one action to define a process to propose and select
Wikimedia hackathons. The topic came when discussing how to define the
location of the next European hackathon, and it was also mentioned when
discussing the possibility to start organizing an annual hackathon in India.
There is a draft available at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Hackathons
Feedback welcome.
The page includes guidelines for candidates proposing a hackathon. Even if
this is a draft, I think they are already useful for anybody thinking on
proposing the Wikimedia Hackathon 2015 in Europe, as well as a developer
event in India or elsewhere.
As soon as we agree on the basics of the draft, we will advertize it
further at wikimedia-l to make sure that all chapters and other WM orgs are
aware of it, and hopefully budget for it as organizers and/or travel
sponsors.
