About[edit]
Indic Hackathon 2022 is a regional event of the main Wikimedia Hackathon 2022. The Hackathon is for anyone who contributes (or wants to contribute) to Wikimedia’s technical areas - as code creators, maintainers, translators, designers, technical writers and other technical roles. You can come with a project in mind, join an existing project, or create something new with others. The goal of a regional in-person event is to bring together technical contributors from India for a regional hackathon as a local meetup of the upcoming Wikimedia Hackathon 2022, to resolve pending technical issues, bugs, brainstorm on tooling ideas, and foster connections between contributors.
To talk about the format of the event being physical/in-person, as the world is opening up, we also feel that it does make sense to host an in-person event rather than online, of course with all appropriate safety measures. During the last two years, we realized that many things can be organized online, however, certain components of in-person events such as forming new social connections don’t work well in an online event, which are also crucial to a community. So we would like to take this opportunity for this hackathon.
Participation[edit]
Note: The regional event will take place in-person, for which scholarships will be provided (travel, food, accommodation and other related expenses). However, if you would like to participate remotely you may directly do so in the main hackathon. You can find more information about that on this page.
| Applications period for scholarships is over. |
