Hi everyone,
Wikimédia France invites all developers to the *Wikimedia Hackathon 2015 in Lyon, France*, from *23-25 May*. This event is the opportunity for all Wikimedia community developpers and sysadmins to come together, squash bugs and write great new features & tools.
The event is open to a wide range of developers. We welcome both seasoned and new developers as well as people working on MediaWiki, tools, pywikipedia, Wikidata, maps, gadgets, extensions, templates … . Please suggest and discus topics at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/Wikimedia-Hackathon-2015/
We are also experimenting in pairing "*potes*" (buddies) to help newcomers mingle in the hackathon. You can read more about it on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Hackathons#Pairing_buddies and put your name on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Lyon_Hackathon_2015/Buddies if you are interested.
You can indicate that you're coming at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Lyon_Hackathon_2015/Attendees (This doesn't replace registration, it's just to let others know what you're up to.)
*The registration is now open* and also includes the possibility to apply for a travel, accommodation or full scholarship; You can find the form at https://dons.wikimedia.fr/civicrm/event/register?reset=1&id=8
Keep an eye on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Lyon_Hackathon_2015 for updates!
See you in Lyon, Sylvain.

How should volunteer developers fill it out if they are applying for a full scholarship (and attendance is conditional on that)?
I see the "Are you a volunteer developer needing sponsorship?: yes, travel and accommodation" pair.
However, there are some other questions where it's not clear how someone should/might respond (e.g. Accomodation, Payment method).
A scholarships section or link at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Lyon_Hackathon_2015 would also be helpful.
Thanks,
Matt Flaschen
I have a question regarding scholarship: is there a way to indicate that I would like to apply for a full scholarship, but in case the application wouldn't pass, I am also interested in partial scholarship?
Partial scholarship is still better than none, in which case I might not be able to attend at all...

This and other details not fitting in the form can be explained in the Comments field.
Matt, I agree we need a scholarships section or link at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Lyon_Hackathon_2015. The local organizers or myself will publish more information soon.
