This year’s Wikimedia Hackathon 2016
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2016 will be held in
Jerusalem in April. Ideally we will announce the host for 2017 before March
14th, 2016. If multiple chapters or organizations are interested, we hope
to work together to figure out the the best solution.
Any organizations interested in hosting should please create a Phabricator
ticket and associate it with the Developer-Relations project.
