Fantastic MediaWikis program

MediaWiki Stakeholder's Track: "Fantastic MediaWikis and How to Maintain Them“

From 11:30 to 19:00, there will be a one-day conference track called "Fantastic Mediawikis and How to Maintain Them", designed for people who work with the open source software MediaWiki in their organization, company or business. The conference track is curated by the MediaWiki Stakeholders' Group.

It will take place in one of the smaller breakout-rooms. Hackathon participants are invited to join the track whenever they want, spontaneously drop by for one hour or stay for the whole day, just like in any other session of the hackathon.

Participate in a one-day conference track at the Wikimedia Hackathon 2017, designed for people who work with the open source software MediaWiki in their organization, company or business. The conference track is curated by the MediaWiki Stakeholders' Group and hosted by Wikimedia Austria.

At the Wikimedia Hackathon 2017, about 200 developers from all over the world will come to Vienna to improve MediaWiki. We are using this opportunity to develop a special program for the software’s stakeholders, maintainers, and power-users. The track is curated by the MediaWiki Stakeholders Group, an organization of advocates for users from outside the Wikimedia Foundation and its projects. Access the global network of developers, get inspired by use cases, and learn new skills!

Wikidata documentation sprint

Wikidata documentation sprint

The documentation sprint is a session that will take place during the 3 days of the hackathon. Its main goal is to improve user-documentation about Wikidata and Wikibase.

Anyone is welcome to join at any moment during the event, join a team or not, work on one of the suggested topics or not.

We will build a list of tasks with the community, so participants can work alone or in teams. During the sprint, we will also organize short workshops about useful tools (e.g. translation tools, illustration). Organizers will provide advices to help participants to build a good documentation. Non-tech people welcome. People will be able to attend remotely.

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.

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.
