Hackathon/Program
Sign up for the Hackathon Showcase!
Below you will find ongoing projects and sessions for the Wikimedia Hackathon 2016 which will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday, in advance of Wikimania.
The main locations are: the gym (opening session), the primary school, and the kindergarden theater.
See Hackathon for more general information about the hackathon. See the main Wikimania Programme page for other pre-conference activities.
Scheduling
REMINDER: Each session should have a Phabricator task (tagged with phab:tag/wikimania-hackathon-2016), and an etherpad, created in advance!
Before scheduling please read: Hackathon#How to schedule a session. Please limit your sessions to 1 hour. Add your break-out sessions onto the table below, in any of the "Breakout Rooms". All breakout rooms have projectors. In order to keep the program open to all participants and on topic, please note that if you schedule your session incorrectly, for more than an hour or completely off-topic, your session will be removed from the program by the organizers. You will be contacted and the missing parts or issues will be explained.
