 * schedule it yourself in the tables below in one of the time slots with nothing else in it, you can check the details of the rooms above.

How to plan for your sessions and projects
Do you have a project idea, training topic idea or session idea? Here are some ways to get involved


 * Make sure to add your project, session or training to our Phabricator workboard: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/3260/
 * Any ideas are welcome!
 * Come to the Hackathon Opening Ceremony on Friday 18 May ready to talk about your idea for 1-2 minutes during our open mic time. We will take notes of all the ideas and post them after the opening.
 * Keep watching this page and your email, we will let participants know when they can start scheduling sessions and how that will work!
 * Add your name and interests, including things you can teach and things you want to learn about, to our participants page.
 * Email the organizers with any questions! We can help!

WiFi connection instructions on Campus

 * Please connect to the UAB SSID.
 * Once connected, you need to get your typical captive portal.
 * Problem is, captive portals don't play together too well with today's browsers. First, you have to connect with http://, not https://.
 * But most websites nowadays are https, and they claim HSTS. This means that browsers remember that a particular site is HTTPS, and they won't connect via HTTP even if you force them. So, wikipedia won't do. Or Google, for that matter.
 * We recommend you to connect to a dummy website, like example.com or wikipedia.fr
 * That will force HTTP, and you will get the captive portal.
 * Once there, it's easy. Just tick the "connect as a guest" box, and login. You're set.

For any of the items listed above, create a task on Phabricator, add  tag, and import it to the respective column on the workboard. Also, indicate in the task description if your proposed activity is newcomer-friendly.

 * Skill Share - Hands-on skill development workshops on topics around technology stack of Wikimedia projects.
