Hi everyone, We hope you’re ready for this three-day event, because the event starts in less than 2 hours!
The hackathon will take place over the weekend (Friday through Sunday), with time for sessions, social events, and hacking: 16:00–17:00 UTC August 12: Opening ceremony and pre-hacking project showcase 17:00–22:00 UTC August 12: Hacking and sessions 12:00–17:00 UTC August 13: Hacking and sessions 15:55–16:45 UTC August 14: Final Showcase When will the event start? The opening ceremony will happen at 16:00 UTC today. Find the link on the schedule <https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hackathon/Schedule>! How can I join a session? Due to platform access issues with Pheedloop, we’ve decided to give direct access to the Hackathon Jitsi rooms. The links can now be found on the schedule page <https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hackathon/Schedule>. There will be a Technical Sessions room as well as an Open Hacking and Social Sessions room. How can I work on a project? If you have an idea, you will be able to add your own projects on Phabricator <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/6030/>. If you don’t know yet what to work on, see what projects others will be working on. You might find a project to join or get inspiration for your own idea! If you have any other questions, please leave a comment on the talk page or on Telegram/IRC. See you soon!
