Hello!

Is your chapter interested in hosting the 2016 European Hackathon? We are looking for proposals!

We have put together some information for potential hackathon organizers here https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Hackathons#Proposing_a_hackathon and some general information about hackathon objectives here https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Hackathons.

This years Wikimedia Hackathon 2015 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2015 will be held in Lyon, France in May. Ideally we will announce the host for 2016 in Lyon. If multiple chapters are interested, we will work together to figure out the the best solution.

If you are interested in hosting or have any questions about the process you have a few options: 1) Create a Phabricator task and associate it with the Engineering-Community project. Include as much information as possible from the first step section of the proposing a hackathon https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Hackathons/Proposing_a_hackathon wiki page. 2) Email me at rfarrand@wikimedia.org with any questions or concerns

Looking forward to hearing from you!
