Hello all,
Fowarded as recieved
=======================
open for both scholarships and regular attendees!
The hackathon will be held at OFIÇINA <http://www.oficina.al/> in Tirana, Albania between 9-11 May 2020 (please note that this is a Saturday through Monday instead of the usual Friday - Sunday). Additionally, we encourage attendees to stay in Tirana and attend the 7th annual Open Source Conference Albania (OSCAL) <https://oscal.openlabs.cc/> which will be in
the same venue on May 16th and 17th, and will have a Wikimedia Track and mission aligned organizations participating.
We have identified two focus areas
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2020#Hackathon_Focus_Areas>
for the event which we will continue to refine and clarify over the next months. As usual, we welcome participants who plan to work on or learn about any project that they like related to any area of Wikimedia Technology.
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. After that point the decision committees will begin work and we will not be able to accept any more applications so please make sure to register before then if you have an interest in attending. For those self-funding to attend this event, registration will remain open.
Best regards,
