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 will be inviting 50-60 people to join us in this open Techstorm, to come and learn at the National Library in the Hague. Confirmations of attendance will be send out in September.
