Yesterday we opened the travel request process for
Wikimedia Foundation
employees in Engineering and Product willing to participate at the
Wikimedia Hackathon or Wikimania. There is no public link, but you can
follow this task at

In this process, we are asking WMF employees to find a hackathon buddy
with the sole requirement of not being another WMF employee. In fact, in
the registration for the hackathons we will request the same to all
participants.

This means that non-WMF contributors might receive a request from a WMF
employee to be hackathon buddies. This also means that if you are planning
to participate in any of these events (and especially if you plan to
request travel sponsorship to Lyon) you will be encouraged to find a buddy
as well.
It's going to be fun. :) And no worries, we will help making connections
to whoever needs that help.
