Wikimedia Developer Summit/2017/Program

Propose an activity The Wikimedia Developer Summit consists of:
 * two days of sessions organized in a pre-scheduled Program and an Unconference -- see Call for participation.
 * a totally unscheduled third day for hacking, meeting, and conversations.

The spaces available are described in the Golden Gate Club website (a more detailed description will be posted here soon).

The discussion starts online months before, as proposals for topics are being submitted and discussed at the #wikidev17 project in Wikimedia Phabricator. We strive to make remote online participation during the event as productive as possible.
