Check out the schedule to see an overview of the sessions.

At the beginning of the event, anyone can present a technical project they plan to work on at the Pre Event Showcase as a way to find new collaborators. You might find it helpful to look at technical projects from past Hackathons.This session provided a space for people to find teams, brainstorm new ideas, and make plans for what to hack during the Hackathon.

Throughout the following hours, there were social sessions and training sessions run by the community, but the majority of the time was spent hacking together. Attendees could also explore other Wikimania activities.

At the end of the event, there was a final showcase to present advances or new technical projects built during the Hackathon.

The event was not be live-translated, but presentations and meetups in any language are welcome!

How to participate

Pre-event showcase

This year’s Hackathon had a pre-event showcase (check out the schedule to find links to watch the showcase). This session gave people the chance to present what they plan to work on, and what sort of team members they’d like to find support from. Think about if you’d like to present a project, or if you’d like to attend and find a project team to join.
