Wiki Techstorm

Are you interested in technology? Can you work with spreadsheets or do you learn / work in other areas with databases or software and do you want to improve your skills? Then you are invited to register for the Wiki TechStorm. The Wiki Techstorm will be a medium sized hackathon in the  Netherlands  on October 26th & 27th in 2018.

Wikimedia Netherlands has a longstanding history organising hackathons and GLAM  camps. Previous events were held in 2014,  2013,   2012 and  2011.

The  Women Techstorm part I  was a small woman-only hackathon (non-binary welcome), that was held in the  Netherlands  in 2018 from 10-12 May. The Wiki Techstorm will be the follow-up event, to which first all 22 participants from Part I will be invited. The Wiki Techstorm is going to be bigger and will be open to all genders: we aim for an equal representation of all genders and backgrounds.

We will offer all attendees lunch on Friday and Saturday and dinner at Friday. We cannot reimburse travel- or accommodation costs: please turn to your local chapter, the Foundation or a third party if you need such.

Registration Registrations are now open. We injvited 50 people to join us in this open Techstorm, to come and learn at the National Library in the Hague.

Together we can work on the sum of all knowledge! Participation is free of charge and it includes entrance and meals.
