How to schedule breakout sessions
editHow to schedule Proposed Sessions & Skill Share:
- If your breakout session lasts up to 1 hour
- schedule it yourself in the tables below in one of the time slots with nothing else in it, you can check the details of the rooms above.
- All sessions need to have an associated Phabricator task with a description linked to the schedule. If you are unsure how to create one. Please add a tag to your Phabricator task associating it with Wikimedia-Hackathon-2018.
- If your session does not have an associated Phabricator task it will be removed.
- If your breakout session lasts longer than 1 hour
- Please reach out to hackathon
wikimedia.cat and ask us don't schedule this session on your own. We need to make sure there is enough space for everyone to organize sessions. - Longer sessions will be schedule just before the hackathon
- Please reach out to hackathon
If you already have a Phabricator account and are interested in attending a specific breakout session please subscribe to the associated task on Phabricator so that breakout session organizers know how many people to expect.

How to plan for your sessions and projects
editDo you have a project idea, training topic idea or session idea? Here are some ways to get involved
- Make sure to add your project, session or training to our Phabricator workboard: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/3260/
- Any ideas are welcome!
- Come to the Hackathon Opening Ceremony on Friday 18 May ready to talk about your idea for 1-2 minutes during our open mic time. NOTES: https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/wmhack2018-projects
- Keep watching this page and your email, we will let participants know when they can start scheduling sessions and how that will work!
- Add your name and interests, including things you can teach and things you want to learn about, to our participants page.
- Email the organizers with any questions! We can help!
WiFi connection instructions on Campus
edit- Please connect to the UAB SSID.
- Once connected, you need to get your typical captive portal.
- Problem is, captive portals don't play together too well with today's browsers. First, you have to connect with http://, not https://.
- But most websites nowadays are https, and they claim HSTS. This means that browsers remember that a particular site is HTTPS, and they won't connect via HTTP even if you force them. So, wikipedia won't do. Or Google, for that matter.
- We recommend you to connect to a dummy website, like example.com.
- That will force HTTP, and you will get the captive portal.
- Once there, it's easy. Just tick the "connect as a guest" box, and login. You're set.
Contribute to the Program
edit
- Propose a session, workshop, or project
- Proposed Sessions - Session covering any of the Wikimedia’s technical areas.

- Featured Tasks - List of projects that are suitable for volunteers proposed by the participants and curated by the organizers.
- Backlog - If you don't know where to list your task, add it here and we will help you.
For any of the items listed above, create a task on Phabricator, add #Wikimedia-Hackathon-2018 tag, and import it to the respective column on the workboard. Also, indicate in the task description if your proposed activity is newcomer-friendly.
