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 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 it's 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.

<h2 style="color: #aaa;">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 21:00 we'll meet up at the Rokin to go on the canal cruise. 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.
