The Questions

How did it help you as a contributor to Wikimedia?

I got to make nice tutorials which I can use in other hackathons, and could test the tutorials out :) Also met lots of interesting people!
I came across fresh tactics on how to improve further hackathons, and got to know more what participants like to have from a Hackathon. Glad to meet new contributors, and welcome people to the community.
This hackathon was different. Got to know many people, and it would surely help in future, with my presentation skills!

Additional feedback on logistics

Internet was a bit of an issue in the beginning. But it did stabilize after a while. Would be nice to have a wifi router capable of 30-40ppl rather than hotspots. wifi on the second day was very good though. Also, the food was awesome!
Suchit and team did a great job. Thank you!
Suchit was amazing. :)

Any additional comments regarding the sessions or overall agenda?

I was a little concerned on the first day because in pywikibot everyone wanted to solve bugs. But in retrospect I think this was my fault that I didn't realize that gsoc was the main reason for the hackathon. I was not prepared to get people to solve bugs. I was planning on getting them to make a script to upload stuff to wikidata. But I think with help from Tony and Srijan the bug solving went well too.
Everything went well, just have this opinion that we should focus more on levelling the gender gap! That's it!
Could have kept at night too!
