Wikimedia Hackathon 2022/Schedule/Sessions

How to propose a session

 * 1) Look at at the schedule to see existing sessions and available slots. It's okay if there are two similar sessions, especially if they accommodate different time zones. There are 6 categories of sessions:
 * 2)  Community Building
 * 3) Infrastructure Tools
 * 4)   Localization and Small Wikis
 * 5)  Python
 * 6)   Wikibase and Wikidata
 * 7)  the Cantina (social room).
 * 8) To claim a space, edit at the schedule to add the following information in the time slot you prefer within the category you prefer:
 * 9) Title of Session:
 * 10) Username for contact:
 * 11) Session Duration (25 or 50 min):
 * 12) Language of session (English, Arabic, etc.):
 * 13) Prerequisites (some Python, etc.):
 * 14) Good for newcomers? (Yes/No):

How to prepare for your session

 * 1) As you begin to prepare for your session, here are some important things to keep in mind:
 * 2) Your audience will likely be international and of varying skillsets. Think about how to make your session accessible to many different backgrounds.
 * 3) Online sessions are often more productive when they are interactive. Consider ways to engage with attendees, such as asking questions, encouraging coding along with a demonstration, or facilitating conversations.
 * 4) There are some other great tips for successful presentations in a guidebook created by the Wikimania 2021 Team. See especially: Ingredients for Good Public Speaking (pg 12), A Common Structure (pg 23), Slide Tips (pg 31), Virtual Delivery (pg 37-38), and How to Practice (pg 43). Note that this resource is available in several languages; you can change the language in the URL.
 * 5) Practice! A practiced session will be more interesting to an audience, and easier for the presenter. It's always smart to practice your session with a friend or pet, and sometimes they may give valuable feedback! (Meow!)

What to do on the day of your session

 * 1) Come early to your assigned room (links will be posted in May) to make sure your microphone works. There will be a facilitator in each room who can help check this.
 * 2) Prepare to leave space at the end of your session for questions or technical issues- it's okay if you finish early, but a too-long session can cause the following session to start late.
 * 3) Stay around and join other sessions! Who knows, you may learn something new.
