Wikimedia Hackathon 2023/Connect
19–21 May 2023 | Athens, Greece
Creating a Friendly Space
The Universal Code of Conduct, Code of Conduct for Wikimedia's Technical Spaces and Friendly Space Policy will be in effect throughout the event, on all platforms, discussion channels, and at satellite events.
Discussions
edit
The following channels are traditionally used to connect with other participants; some of them are more or less active throughout the year:
- The chat room is bridged across 3 different networks; you can join using whichever service you prefer (you only need to be in one):
- Talk page on MediaWiki.org
- The hashtag
#wmhackon Mastodon, Twitter, and other social media
Participants list
editThis public participants list is populated voluntarily by each participant - if you plan to attend the hackathon, feel free to add yourself below!
Please note that adding yourself to this table is not the same thing as filling out the registration form. If you plan to attend the onsite hackathon, make sure to register.
Disclaimer: It is up to you if you would like to add the arrival information in the "Arrive at Airport ATH" on the wiki. No one should feel compelled to share this information for privacy reasons. As a suggestion, you can use Telegram when you arrive at the airport to see if others around want to share a taxi/Uber/public transport to the venue.
| Username | Projects: what do you plan to work on? | Topics/technologies where you can help | How to contact you | Languages you can speak | Arrive at Airport ATH |
