Wikimedia Hackathon 2020/Remote Hackathon

= Remote Wikimedia Hackathon 2020: Framework = MAY 9 - 11, 2020 (Saturday - Monday) &mdash; fully remote! A virtual & social initiative as an alternative to the in-person event :)

Code of Conduct for Technical Spaces
The Code of Conduct for Wikimedia's Technical Spaces will be in effect at the Remote Hackathon.

If you are interested in participating please review the code of conduct and ensure you are willing and able to follow it.

Overview
Please use this page to express interest and ideas for a remote Hackathon to take place on the same dates that the Wikimedia Hackathon in Albania would have happened during May 9-11, 2020.

The intention of this initiative is to provide a virtual space for folks to spend time with each other, work on projects, and have fun!

All projects, people, and ideas are welcome and this meeting will be created for and by the participants. Feel free to add your ideas to the section below.

For now we are gaging interest with originally confirmed Hackathon participants and will announce more broadly if there is interest.

We will provide additional guidance on deploying risky or large features during this time, because the Foundation staff is working at reduced capacity due to covid-19 developments.

NOTE: if you need any help organizing something, setting up a video call, using Phabricator, or any questions please contact rfarrand@wikimedia.org
