Learning and innovation
WMAT has been preparing this event for two years, attending two Wikimedia Hackathons (Lyon and Jerusalem) and several similar tech events from like-minded organisations and communities. This enabled us to create our own vision for the Mediawiki Hackathon and to make it an event that not only has the desired impact on our own local context but also improves the event format for future Hackathons in the wider Wikimedia movement. We can only encourage this process for other Wikimedia events, especially the ones which travel to different countries and communities from year to year. Instead of just copy and pasting things from the past it can be worthwhile to be bold again and question and re-think exisiting patterns and also look for inspiration outside the Wikimedia movement.
