This is a final reminder that registration for the Wikimedia Hackathon is closing for volunteers requesting a scholarship or visa and WMF staff in three days on 9 February. Registration link and more details about the event can be found here on Mediawiki.org <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2020/Register>.
Special thanks to Wiki Tech Storm organizers for helping us to re-think our newcomer program to be even more friendly and easy to navigate and to the GLAM community for coming up with so many good ideas so far. :) Once staff and scholarships are confirmed (around 21 Feb) you can begin to follow our progress on the newly opened Hackathon Workboard on Phabricator <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/4551/> as people add their projects and session ideas. We are here to help, so please send an email if you have any questions or ideas. :) On Fri, Jan 31, 2020 at 8:09 AM Rachel Farrand <rfarr...@wikimedia.org> wrote: > Hello! > This is a reminder that 10 days from now (9 February) is the deadline for > volunteers requesting a scholarship or visa and WMF staff to register for > the Wikimedia Hackathon 2020 in Tirana.
