Wikimedia Hackathons are events in which a large number of people with different skills meet and work together on common goals. Our hackathons normally last between 2 and 4 days and focus on technologies and projects powering Wikipedia and other wiki projects, and thousands of MediaWiki installations. Wikimedia hackathons are essentially large development community meetups that attract many developers and designers who care deeply about the issues and technology impacting MediaWiki and the Wikimedia projects. Participants have a chance to work together with other developers, designers and Wikimedians, in a productive, fun, and supportive environment.
Wikimedia hackathons play an important role energizing the technical community and connecting it to local groups. The Movement always needs more of them in different places!
