The Sweet Taste of Austria

Saturday 20 May 2017, 16-17in the Atrium

by prazlab

Austrian traditional recipes derive from different cuisines of the cultures that formed the historical Austro-Hungarian Empire  . Not only famous for the Schnitzel  , the Viennese cuisine   is characterized by its "sweet tooth". Austrian desserts like the Sachertorte  , the apple strudel  , and the Linzertorte   are well known internationally. According to this culinary tradition sweet dishes are not destined to be only enjoyed at the end of the meal, they can be served as a main dish.

In a feast of typical Austrian sweet dishes, prazlab collective prepared for you a buffet with the best-known cakes: Sachertorte, apple strudel, Linzertorte, Marmorgugelhupf (marble bundt cake), Esterházy torte   and Streuselkuchen  . The ingredients of the original recipes are mapped according to the statistical data about the Wikipedia entry of the cake. This update adds to the taste its metadata: the date of creation of the article, the number of edits and the amount of visitors of the page.

About the prazlab art collective: Since 2012 Veronika and Vesela and have been working together on multisensorial experiences, creating edible interfaces, artistic visualizations and food data tastifications. Their works are based on the most universal language of food, using cooking techniques and focusing on the act of eating.

Mentoring program

Mentoring Program

For this year’s Hackathon we will be implementing a mentoring program for newcomers to our movement. The mentoring program is a new approach that we are trying out for the first time, where we were looking for Wikimedians who will be at the hackathon exclusively as mentors. They will come up with newcomer-friendly projects and ideas and, during the whole weekend, work with groups of about two to six newcomers, to help them with the whole onboarding process, and make their way into the great Wikimedia tech community as easy and as much fun as possible. The focus is to welcome more newcomers into the community, by introducing them to the different aspects of working with MediaWiki, and help them achieve their own first steps during the hackathon weekend. Additionally, we want to create a welcoming social atmosphere, so we can further diversity and growth in our community.
