This year’s Wikimedia Hackathon 2017
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2017> will be held in
Vienna, Austria from 19-21 May. Ideally we will announce the host for 2017
before the end of March, 2017 so that the 2018 organizers can attend the
Vienna Hackathon and start gathering ideas. 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. Srishti and I
are happy to assist if needed.

am not on the chapters@ list, so if there is anything that I should respond

think it might be useful.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
