Wikimedia Hackathon

Lyon 2015

The Wikimedia annual development community meet-up — the Wikimedia Hackathon — will be held in Lyon, France in 2015 from May 23-25.

Meet the Wikimedia Tech community. Learn about the technologies and projects powering Wikipedia and thousands of MediaWikis. Propose or join a demo-able project to hack on during the event. Developers new to Wikimedia and tech-curious editors are welcome! Just bring your laptop, ideas, and energy to contribute.

Venue and accommodation
The venue and accommodation will be both at the same site: Valpré-Lyon, France. One main hall, two conference rooms and several small workshop room rooms will be available to us, plus a nice yard. We have a big main conference hall and three workshop rooms.

Accommodation will be on the upper floors and in an adjacent building. There will be three types of rooms :


 * Single rooms
 * Twin rooms (with two or occasionally three beds)
 * Double rooms (with a bed for two people)

The accomodation prices are total, from the 22 to the 26, and also includes the catering. The whole venue is accessible to wheelchairs.
