Wikimedia Hackathon 2023/Participate/yue

維基媒體 Hackathon（編程馬拉松）將會喺2023年5月19-21號喺希臘雅典舉行｡ 今次活動主要係現場參與，部分環節網上直播；各地社羣亦可能會喺活動前舉辦活動｡

你喺爾度可以搵到點樣參加、會場係點、點去會場、可以住邊、點攞獎學金等等｡ 今次活動本身係免費參加，但係交通同住宿就要自費，除非你申請到獎學金，或者所屬機構會畀資助（例如你係維基媒體基金會嘅員工，或者你分會嘅員工等等）｡

Masks and COVID-19 self-tests will be available onsite, but their use will not be mandatory.

Online participation
The Wikimedia Hackathon 2023 is primarily an onsite event, and we couldn't enable full remote participation. However, there are various possibilities for people attending remotely to work on projects and interact with other participants:

Work on tasks: The tasks distribution and tracking takes place on Phabricator. Feel free to indicate that you are working on a task or to ask questions directly in Phabricator comments.

Interact with participants: The Hackathon social channels (IRC, Telegram, etc.) will be very active during the event, and the remote attendees are welcome to join these channels, talk about their projects and asks, and ask questions to the many technical contributors who are present on these channels.

Project presentations: The opening session (including project presentations) and the closing sessions (including showcase) will be broadcasted on Mediawiki's Youtube channel. However, it will not be possible for remote attendees to participate in these sessions. Remote participants are invited to present their projects on the Hackathon social channels instead.

Program and workshops: The onsite items of the program will not be recorded nor broadcasted online. However, notes will be taken on Etherpad documents, and the speakers will share their slides on Wikimedia Commons if any. If you are particularly interested in a session, feel free to contact the speaker so they can send you more information.

獎學金
In order to support the technical community and to increase diversity among participants, the Wikimedia Foundation runs a scholarship program that will support a selection of technical contributors to allow them to attend the onsite event by taking care of their travel and accommodation.

The scholarship application phase ended on January 14th, it is not possible to apply for a WMF scholarship anymore.

獲批獎學金嘅申請人最遲會喺1月31號收到通知，以便安排機票、申請簽證等等.

The scholarship program aims to support engaged members of the technical community. We will prioritize people who have been contributing to the technical environment of the Wikimedia projects for at least one year. Contributors from underrepresented communities are especially encouraged to submit a scholarship application.

獎學金評審委員會嘅成員係 Léa Lacroix、Srishti Sethi、Ariel Glenn 同 Marios Magioladitis，佢哋會小心睇每一份獎學金嘅申請，評分嘅準則係：


 * Active involvement in technical projects in Wikimedia's ecosystem
 * Plans and projects for the Hackathon
 * Geographic/Gender diversity

Please note that full time Wikimedia staff members are not eligible for a scholarship. If you’re WMF staff, please refer to the internal selection process or talk to your manager regarding your attendance.

Wikimedia affiliates may run their own scholarship process in order to support members of their community to attend the hackathon. Details on scholarships that may be provided by Wikimedia affiliates will be added here when more information is available.


 * Wikimedia Österreich ran a scholarship process that was open until January 9th.



爾個活動啱唔啱你？
同以往唔同，2023年嘅維基媒體 Hackathon 唔係人人都適合；今次主要係畀'''喺維基媒體各個計劃已經所做過技術工作、已經熟識技術環境、有能力自發做嘢或者自發同人合作嘅人. '''

There are multiple reasons why we want to try something new, based on lessons learned from previous Wikimedia Hackathons and other tech events and workshops:


 * Hosting an event that allows already active and regular technical contributors to connect, work with each other, learn new things and have very specific technical discussions, while also onboarding people new to Wikimedia and/or development to get started has been quite a big stretch.
 * Wikimedia’s technical ecosystem spans many different technical areas and has endless options to contribute and to learn. We need a space where our existing technical community across skills, interests and expertise can come together to connect, hack, and learn from each other.
 * Workshops and smaller events designed around specific skills and technical areas seem to be a better way to help people get started. For example, regular local tech meetups, initiatives like Small Wiki Toolkits, newcomer focused tech sessions at Wikimania, local or regional conferences with a tech track, or a local hackathon for newcomers with focus on a specific field.
 * The international Wikimedia Hackathon isn’t best suited to onboard and build up new local technical communities - it’s a venue to bring people from all over the world together, who might act as bridges to their local communities.

Other events in the Wikimedia Movement are targeted at newcomers: people who are new to Wikimedia and/or development are welcome to attend Wikimania 2023, where technical sessions will take place, or other newcomers-friendly events. (Please add more to the list).

Practically, we are welcoming all participants up to the maximum capacity of the venue, and for the scholarship selection process, we require applicants to demonstrate that they have been active on technical projects for at least one year. The program will include a project matching session during the opening, and introductions to various tools and projects, but we will not run a mentoring program for newcomers. Participants are expected to be able to propose or join projects and to start hacking autonomously.
