[Wikitech-l] Re: Wikimedia Hackathon 2023: registration and scholarship application open

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.
