Wiki Techstorm/Programme

Thursday edit

On Thursday afternoon, we'll start with a cultural and social event. If it's your first time at a technical event, first time in Amsterdam or the first time meeting other Wikimedians, we welcome you to join us for our culture crawl.

We'll be visiting the Rijksmuseum, one of the biggest museums of the Netherlands, where were taking a special guided tour after which you'll have free time at the museum. Note: limited places available, please contact us through email if you want to join!

In the evening we'll move on to a restaurant where we can eat dinner together and maybe have a drink. This will be at your own expense: please be ware this restaurant only takes card payments.

Friday edit

On Friday and Saturday, we have 2 different focuses: Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons and an app track. If there isn't a workshop of your interest, you can "Techstorm": work in one of the free spaces. Our mentors will be available and around to help you with any questions.

We tried to color-indicate our sessions below accordingly.
