Berlin hackathon
ansuman, thank you for your reply.
If you believe that you are not technically skilled enough to find the event useful, then I understand and won't push you to register and attend. :-) But please spend some time using our online learning resources, get as far as you can that way, and then apply for a seat again next year.
I understand that developers in your area don't yet have a critical mass of experienced Wikimedia technology experts. So I suggest that your community should hold some in-person trainings using the documentation that already exists:
- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker
- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Tutorials
- http://openhatch.org/missions/
- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikipediabot
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:A_quick_guide_to_templates
and communicating with the larger Wikimedia technical community instantaneously on IRC:

If you have any trouble finding the materials you need to learn a topic you want to learn, please tell me! It's my job to find or make those materials for you. :-)
Best wishes.
