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.

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

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'll have to work together to get things done.

We'll 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.

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.

Showcase
The showcase are the presentations on Saturday, 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. Whether you failed or succeeded, whether you're finished or just getting started. At the Techstorm it's about the learning and the experience: please share and be proud.
