Hello all,
As you may have heard, the Wikimedia Hackathon
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2023> is back in
person on May 19-21 in Athens, Greece. We are now opening the registration
form that also includes an optional scholarship application form open
until January 14th.
Registration is required to attend the onsite Wikimedia Hackathon in
Athens. The registration form remains open until we reach the capacity of
the venue (around 220 people). The event is free of charge - participants
are expected to book their travel arrangements individually, unless they
are granted a scholarship.
You can register here by getting yourself a (free) ticket for the
hackathon! <https://pretix.eu/wikimedia/wmhack2023/> (see also the detailed
instructions
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2023/Participate#Registration>
)
In order to support the technical community and participants from diverse
backgrounds, the Wikimedia Foundation provides scholarships that cover
travel and accommodation for a selected number of technical contributors.
The application form is part of the registration process, and is open until January
14th. You can find more information about the scholarship process,
committee and criteria on the related page
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2023/Participate#Scholarships>
.
The registration and scholarship application form runs with Pretix, an
open source third-party service, which may subject it to additional terms.
