Wikimedia Hackathon 2022/Schedule

The Wikimedia Hackathon will take place online on May 20–22, 2022.

Core Hours
Each day, there will be two sets of core online hours: 03:00–06:00 GMT, and 15:00–18:00 GMT. During core hours, most sessions and social events will be held. Participants are also welcome to stay in the online space and collaborate outside of these core hours. The goal is to allow time for breaks without fear of missing out, and to accommodate as many time zones as possible.

The Core Hours on Friday and Saturday will be open for sessions and hacking. The Core Hours on Sunday will be used for showcasing projects and the closing ceremony. (Check out this handy client-side tool to convert time zones!)

Sessions
There will be 6 categories of sessions happening at parallel times on Friday and Saturday. The categories are Community Building, Infrastructure Tools, Localization and Small Wikis, MediaWiki, Python, Wikibase and Wikidata, and the Cantina (social room). In the sections below, we encourage you to volunteer to host sessions. If you are interested in hosting a session that doesn't seem to fit in these categories, please let us know!

There are several forms a session can take:


 * Presentation: present a project, lessons learned, or experience working with the technical community.
 * Discussion: introduce a topic and prepare questions to encourage an interesting conversation.
 * Workshop: an interactive way to teach a skill to other community members, which might involve hands-on practice.
 * Other ideas which are engaging and fun for others!

'''We strongly encourage you to consider an interactive or conversational format. While lecture-style sessions can be informative, feedback from previous Hackathons indicates people prefer other formats which have strategic audience engagement. We've written some tips on how to prepare a fun session.

To claim a time slot, please add to the schedule below by copying the following points into a table below, and then add your information: If you want to share more information about a session, you can link to a Phabricator task which goes into more detail. The Git and Gerrit session is a great example.
 * Title of Session (the more detailed, the better!):
 * Username for contact:
 * Session Duration (25 or 50 min):
 * Language of session (English, Arabic, etc.):
