Wikimedia Hackathon é um evento importante que reúne programadores de todo o mundo para melhorar a infraestrutura tecnológica da Wikipédia e de outros projetos da Wikimedia, particularmente a plataforma MediaWiki, na qual elas se baseiam e outro desenvolvimento de código da Wikimedia.
Hackathon terá lugar em Tirana, Albânia, de 9 a 11 de maio de 2020. This is your opportunity to meet the Wikimedia tech community, learn about the technologies and projects that power Wikipedia and thousands of other MediaWiki based websites, and propose or join a demo-able project to hack on during the event.
- Os programadores novos na Wikimedia e os editores curiosos em tecnologia também são bem-vindos!
Just bring your laptop, ideas, and energy to contribute – we promise a great event, cool atmosphere, and an inspiring venue!

Hackathon Focus Areas
Wikimedia Hackathon 2020 will be concentrated around two main focus areas. Although, participants who plan to work on or learn about any project that they like related to any area of Wikimedia Technology are welcomed to join.
We Identified the focus areas of the event based on the needs of the local community. The focus areas of the events will be concentrated on GLAM and on Onboarding regional developers.
- 1. GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) is one of the main focus for the local Wikimedia efforts and therefore it is important to create a better infrastructure (both digital and human) to support their initiatives and learn new skills. Any project related to furthering open technologies related to GLAM is welcome. If you have plans or ideas and are interested in collaboration, please contact us in advance of the event. More information on the GLAM focus area can be found here.
- 2. We will be running a new onboarding / mentoring / newcomer program at the Wikimedia Hackathon following lessons learned from WikiTechStorm and Wikimedia Netherlands. We will also be incorporating feedback from past Hackathon attendees as well as trying out some brand-new ideas. New contributors will have their choice of trainings, informational sessions, projects to join and easy tasks. As well as more visibility and a very structured first day. More details coming soon! More information on the new mentoring program here.

- O que é um "hackathon"?
- Wikimedia hackathons are generally collaborative computer programming events which specifically focus on technologies and projects powering Wikipedia and thousands of MediaWiki installations. Wikimedia hackathons are essentially large development community meetups that attract many developers and designers who care deeply about the issues and technology impacting MediaWiki and the Wikimedia projects. You will get a chance to work together with other developers, designers and Wikimedians, in a productive, fun, and supportive environment.
