Wikimedia Hackathon
Amsterdam 2013

Wikimedia's annual development community meet-up — the Wikimedia Hackathon — will be held in Amsterdam, Netherlands in 2013 from 24-26 May. It is a long weekend filled with hacking anything related to MediaWiki or one of the Wikimedia projects (and sometimes other things, too). The Hackathon is completely open; we welcome both seasoned and new developers, as well as people working on MediaWiki, tools, pywikipedia, gadgets, extensions, templates, etc.

Previous hackathon events were held all over the world, such as in Pune, India (2012), San Francisco, USA (2012), Mumbai, India (2011), Brighton, UK (2011), New Orleans, USA (2011), Berlin, Germany (2011) and Washington DC, USA (2010).

Free registration and scholarships

Registration is now closed. You can still sign up for the waiting list.

Scholarship results have been sent. Please let us know if you requested a scholarship and haven't received your result yet.

Location

The venue and accommodation are both at the same site: Stayokay Hostel Amsterdam Zeeburg, in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Several rooms will be available during the day, including the main restaurant.

The venue can easily be reached by public transport:

  • NS Train to Amsterdam Muiderpoort, +- 900m walk. 2.10 €, single ticket can be bought from the vending machines or counters in the train station. If you're traveling from Schiphol Airport, buy a ticket to Amsterdam Muiderpoort from Schiphol (3.90 €, train runs every 30 min direct, with change more often) rather then buy a second ticket at Amsterdam Centraal. (walking directions, ns.nl schedules)
  • GVB Bus 22 to Zeeburgerdijk +- 300m walk. 2.80 €, single ticket can be bought on board of the bus.

Accomodation

Amsterdam Zeeburg dorm.jpeg
Just like the location, accommodation has been secured in 6p dorms at the Stayokay Hostel Amsterdam Zeeburg (Map), in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The dorms tend to consist of bunk beds where each bed has its own light and power supply. Inside each dorm there is a separate toilet and a separate shower. A sink is available in the dorm itself. You have to bring your own towels or rent them at the hostel.

Workshops

The following workshops will be held during the Amsterdam Hackathon.

Set up your development environment for MediaWiki

Presenter: Sumana Harihareswara, Mark Holmquist, Max Semenik, Jens Ohlig

We’ll explain how to get set up so you can work on code and suggest your improvements to the MediaWiki maintainers -- this will include Git, Gerrit and coverage for Mac, Linux, and Windows.

NOTE: This workshop previously included a tutorial on getting a Vagrant instance set up. Our feeble conference wifi couldn't handle 25 simultaneous attempts to download a 300 megabyte file, and most of the workarounds we tried were insufficient, so we've decided to be more thorough about getting Git set up. If you want to setup Vagrant and are having issues following the instructions on mediawiki.org, you should contact User:MarkTraceur.


Wikidata

Presenter: TBD

Workshop description to be determined.


Interface design solutions for 5 problems in one hour

Presenters: Pau Giner, Trevor Parscal, Arun Ganesh

In this session, designers and user interaction experts will help you solve 5 interface design problems for your code in one hour. The session will start with a 10 minute introduction of the methodology, and then, at a rapid pace, you will contribute to solving five interaction and design problems in 10 minutes each.


Lua in MediaWiki with Scribunto

Presenter: Brad Jorsch

This session will feature a short introduction (with hands-on code examples) to MediaWiki's Scribunto extension—why we created it and how it works—followed by discussion on actually converting those pesky expensive templates to use Lua, and make your wiki faster. The experts will help you take the hurdles you cannot take alone.


How to get your code deployed on Wikimedia

Presenters: Chris Steipp, Tim Starling

  • Chris Steipp will show you how to prevent falling into often seen security holes and improve your skill level.
  • Tim Starling explains why caring about performance of your code is important if 23 billion pages per month have to be served by a website, and where to look to improve the performance of your code.


Using Wikimedia Labs, migrating from Toolserver

Presenter: Ryan Lane and Marc-Andre Pelletier

  • Wikimedia Labs - In this part of the session, you will be guided through setting up your first labs project.
  • Labs and Toolserver - In this part of the session, you will be informed about the latest on migrating Toolserver projects to Labs, and on what changes you might need to make in your bot or web tool to take advantage of the Tool Labs environment.


Wikibots (pywikipedia and others)

Presenter: Merlijn van Deen, Maarten Dammers

The Python Wikipediabot Framework is a collection of tools that automate work on MediaWiki sites. How can you use pywikipedia to write a simple bot? And how can you help improve pywikipedia and its documentation to help make bots better?

The goal of this workshop is to get you started, by installing and configuring pywikibot and its prerequisites. After explaining the basic principles, we will show three example bots: two wikidata bots and one GLAM bot. After this, there will be time for questions on running and writing bots.

Canal cruise

On Saturday evening we're going on a Canal cruise of Amsterdam. After the hacking (somewhere between 17:00 en 18:00) we'll take the tram 14 to the center of Amsterdam and drop you off in the center so you can go out for dinner. On 20:30 we'll meet up at the Rokin to go on the canal cruise. We leave for the boat at 20:45. The boat is leaving at 21:00. Participation is free for attendees. The canal cruise will end somewhere on walking distance from the venue.

More details and updates will be provided here prior to the hackathon.
