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. 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.
Again, please help make sure this is passed around to the relevant mailing
lists. :)
Thanks! We are here to help or answer questions that you may have.

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.
If you have any questions or comments please contact:
wiki-hackathon(a)openlabs.cc Otherwise, please continue to follow our
program and organizational developments on Wikimedia Hackathon 2020 on
