Wiki Techstorm/Programme

Thursday
On Thursday afternoon, we'll start with a cultural and social event. If it's your first time at a technical event, first time in Amsterdam or the first time meeting other Wikimedians, we welcome you to join us for our culture crawl.

In the evening we'll move on to a restaurant where we can eat dinner together and maybe have a drink. This will be at your own expense.

Friday
On Friday and Saturday, we have 2 different focusses: Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons. We tried to color-indicate our sessions below accordingly.

Apptrack
On Friday and Saturday a group of expert developers will be working on different projects, challenged by some institutions. All participants are welcome to ask them questions, maybe to do some testing, give some more insight and information. We are looking forward to the presentations on Saturday afternoon.

Intro Commons
For those of you who want to dive into Commons, we start with this overview of what Commons is, what you can do with it and why it is important to have information in it.

Intro Wikidata
For those of you who want to dive into Wikidata, we start with this overview of what Wikidata is, what you can do with it and why it is important to have high quality information in Wikidata.

Opening
We would like to welcome all of you at the opening ceremony, Friday at 9.30. This will be a plenary session.

Expert developers track
For the expert developers, we have some challenges to fix in these two days. You will have to collaborate to get things done. But we start with short presentations of the different challenges, so you can decide which one you would like to work on. Several organisations will present their ideas to you. There will be more time to ask questions and find out all the details during the apptrack.

Presentations
A part of a Techstorm are the presentations, big or small, of the results participants made during the event. You are all invited to show what you did, whether it was fixing a typing error or building a complete app. As we want everyone on stage, timeslots are small.

Social event
We are working on a great cultural and social event for Thursday afternoon. We are in Amsterdam, so we have some great opportunities to visit. Details will be announced in November.
