Wikimedia Hackathon Zürich 2014 The Wikimedia annual development community meet-up — the Wikimedia Hackathon — was held in  Zürich ,  Switzerland  in 2014 from May 9-11.

It was a long weekend filled with hacking anything related to MediaWiki  or one of the  Wikimedia  projects (and sometimes other things, too). The Hackathon events are completely open; we welcome both seasoned and new developers, as well as people working on MediaWiki, tools, pywikibot, gadgets, extensions, templates, etc.

Previous hackathon events were held all over the world, such as in Amsterdam, Netherlands (2013),  Pune, India (2012),  San Francisco, USA (2012),  Mumbai, India (2011),  Brighton, UK (2011),  New Orleans, USA (2011),  Berlin, Germany (2011) and  Washington DC, USA (2010).

Venue and Accommodation The venue and accommodation were both at the same site: Youth Hostel Zürich, Switzerland . All conference rooms were available to us including a nice yard. We have a big main conference hall and three workshop rooms. There is a beer bar in the Foyer of the Youth Hostel.

 * Power Adapters
 * Switzerland uses 230 V / 50 Hz power with Type J  sockets / plugs.
 * unearthed Europlugs (Type C)  are compatible - other European plugs (such as Schuko) are not as their contacts are thicker than the sockets.
 * The Youth Hostels lends power adapters for many common plug types (for free, just a deposit required which will be given back upon return of the adapter).
