How to schedule breakout sessions[edit]

How to schedule Proposed Sessions & Skill Share:

  • If your breakout session lasts up to 1 hour
    • schedule it yourself in the tables below in one of the time slots indicated as free!
    • OR ask the hackathon organizers via hackathon@wikimedia.at to do this for you.
  • If your breakout session lasts longer than 1 hour
    • please reach out to hackathon@wikimedia.at and don't schedule this session on your own.

All sessions need to have an associated Phabricator task with a description linked to the schedule. If you are unsure how to create one we can help you at hackathon@wikimedia.at

If you already have a Phabricator account and are interested in attending a specific breakout session please subscribe to the associated task on Phabricator so that breakout session organizers know how many people to expect.

#small #newcomer-friendly

CSS, skinning, paladox Isarra
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T146593 -- overflow issues on special:version in various skins

#small #newcomer-friendly

CSS; is a core change Isarra
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T156134 , https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T156133 , https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T156132 , https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T156131 -- various overflow issues on (specific) mobile interfaces CSS issues, layout issues, possibly some terribly archaic code issues; triage whatever is actually sane to do out of all of these if you want Isarra
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T159623 -- socialprofile button showing up issue

#small #newcomer-friendly

JavaScript, UI stuff - prolly a few lines of JS to fix Isarra
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T162653 -- Refreshed should use core-provided tablet width variable

#small #newcomer-friendly

PHP? Probably very simple to fix Isarra
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T155281 -- Semantify Nimbus with HTML5 elements If you're wondering what this means, I don't know either. I recommend asking on the task. Isarra
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T155283 -- Skin contains a 'hilariously-bad-hack-for-responsiveness'

#large

This is technically a valid ticket, but let's be real, the status quo is *acceptable* even if the code is fugly. Isarra
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T155219 , https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T155259 , https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T155261 , https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T155263 , https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T132038 , https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T106689 -- add mobile support to skins with none!

#epic

Various wordings, all the same thing. Skins lack responsiveness/mobile support. This is not all of them. Isarra
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T147246 , https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T147247 , https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T147248 , https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T147249 , https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T147250 -- one issue, five different skins: add indicators.

#small #newcomer-friendly

The PHP part here is easy, just steal the ~1 line of code out of vector. CSS to make it act sanely on the page may be a bit more complicated. Isarra

Wikidata documentation sprint[edit]

The documentation sprint is a session that will take place during the 3 days of the hackathon. Its main goal is to improve user-documentation about Wikidata and Wikibase.

Anyone is welcome to join at any moment during the event, join a team or not, work on one of the suggested topics or not.

We will build a list of tasks with the community, so participants can work alone or in teams. During the sprint, we will also organize short workshops about useful tools (e.g. translation tools, illustration). Organizers will provide advices to help participants to build a good documentation. Non-tech people welcome. People will be able to attend remotely.

Mentoring program[edit]

For this year’s Hackathon we will be implementing a mentoring program for newcomers to our movement. The mentoring program is a new approach that we are trying out for the first time, where we were looking for Wikimedians who will be at the hackathon exclusively as mentors. They will come up with newcomer-friendly projects and ideas and, during the whole weekend, work with groups of about two to six newcomers, to help them with the whole onboarding process, and make their way into the great Wikimedia tech community as easy and as much fun as possible. The focus is to welcome more newcomers into the community, by introducing them to the different aspects of working with MediaWiki, and help them achieve their own first steps during the hackathon weekend. Additionally, we want to create a welcoming social atmosphere, so we can further diversity and growth in our community.
