Wikimedia Hackathon 2020/Remote Hackathon/Women tea time

Whatever time it is in your timezone, it is always time for tea! Welcome to our women* tea time during the Remote Hackathon 2020. Take a break, your favorite hot beverage, and join us for a chat!

Description & Conditions
This session is a social event aiming to bring together women* during the hackathon, so we can connect with each other, support each other, ask questions or talk about our favorite projects.

By women*, we understand: any person who doesn't identify as cis-male. Non-binary, agender, trans people are very welcome.

Just like the other sessions at the hackathon, participants are expected to follow the Code of Conduct. We want all participants to have a great experience and to feel safe and comfortable during the session.

In order to have a smooth experience during the call, here are a few guidelines:
 * Sharing your camera or speaking during the event is not mandatory, if you only feel like using microphone, or using text in the chat, or just listen, it is totally OK. No one will be forced to speak.
 * When you are not speaking, please mute your microphone to avoid extra noise.
 * When you want to speak, please raise your hand by typing "o/" in the text chat. This way, we know who will speak next. This rule applies especially as soon as we are more than 6 people in the call.

Link & Schedule
The session will take place on Jitsi at 20:00 UTC+2 on Saturday (click here to see your timezone), for a duration of about 50min.

In order to encourage discussions and give everyone the chance to speak, we suggest a schedule for the first part of the meeting. Guidelines mentioned above will be applied during the entire session.
