Wikimedia Hackathon 2022/Schedule/Sessions

How to propose a session

 * 1) Please have a look at the schedule to see what sessions already exist and what slots remain available. It's okay if there are two similar sessions, especially if they accommodate different time zones. Note that there are 5 categories of sessions: Community Building, Infrastructure Tools, Localization and Small Wikis, Python, Wikidata, and the Cantina (social room).
 * 2) To claim a space, you can add the following information into the time slot you prefer in the category you prefer.
 * 3) Title of Session:
 * 4) Username for contact:
 * 5) Session Duration (25 or 50 min):
 * 6) Language of session (English, Arabic, etc.):
 * 7) Prerequisites (some Python, etc.):
 * 8) Good for newcomers? (Yes/No):
 * 9) Begin to prepare your session! Some important things to keep in mind:
 * 10) Your audience will likely be international and of varying skillsets. Think about how to make your session accessible to many different backgrounds.
 * 11) Online sessions are often more productive when they are interactive. Consider ways to engage with attendees, such as asking questions, encouraging coding along with a demonstration, or facilitating conversations.
 * 12) There are some other great tips for successful presentations in a guidebook created by the Wikimania 2021 Team. We recommend looking at Ingredients for Good Public Speaking (pg 12), A Common Structure (pg 23), Slide Tips (pg 31), Virtual Delivery (pg 37-38), and How to Practice (pg 43). Note that this resource is available in several languages; you can change the language in the url.
 * 13) Practice! A practiced session will be more interesting to an audience, and easier for the presenter. It's always smart to practice your session with a friend or pet, and sometimes they may give valuable feedback!
 * 14) Come early to your assigned room (links will be posted in May) to make sure your microphone works. There will be a facilitator in each room who can help check this.
 * 15) Prepare to leave space at the end of your session for questions or technical issues- it's okay if you finish early, but a too-long session can cause the following session to start late.
 * 16) Stay around and join other sessions! Who knows, you may learn something new.
