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 welcome to stay in the online space and collaborate outside of these core hours, but it is not expected. The goal of this setup is to allow ample 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.

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, Python, 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!

To claim a time slot, please add to the schedule below by writing the following information:
