 Buenas tardes a todos, bienvenido a Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona. Bienvenido a Hacatón de Wikimedia. Bienvenido a Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona. É univo para mi que benvoa a vocês a este lugar para celebrar este evento importante. Deixe-me introducir-me. Eu sou Daniel Franco, Dean de Escola de Engenharia de esta universidade, onde vocês serão desarrollando estes dias todas as suas ideias. E nós estamos nowxando o Hacatón de Wikimedia. Eu introduzirei as pessoas que están comigo na mesa. Nós temos, na esquerda, Rachel Faran, Faran de Wikimedia Fundación, na direita Laya Benito, da Wikimedia Amical, e aqui na minha direita, Marius Martinez, vice-director da Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona. As eu disse que no início é univo para nós para que tenes vocês aqui, porque nós reconhecemos a importancia do Hacatón de Wikimedia e do Hacatón de Wikimedia, o desenvolvimento, a ideia behind the open knowledge, open science, voluntary to share, to perform all this information. Also from my point of view, I think that it's very impressive the technology behind the development. The technology is in Wikimedia, I am aware that it's very pushing forward the IT technology itself and this is a very important point. Also I want to mention the collaboration between Wikimedia and the University of Barcelona in two fields. It's important for us from the technology point of view that some of our students have been collaborating this year in the activities, there are some final projects being developed in this area. Also that we have been offering some training to our students so they are engaged with this event and there will be some participation during tomorrow and the day after. On the other hand also I want to mention digital humanities. There is a project in this university about joining two different fields, humanities on one hand and technology on the other. And Wikimedia is a good example of that. So to finish, I only want to mention that you, I suppose you were willing to code all these days and I wish you a successful event. Thank you very much. And now it's time to Richard Farran, please. Hello, I am Rachel Farrand, I work for the Wikimedia Foundation. You will have a lot of information for you about the hackathon in the program after this opening. I just want to start by saying thank you so much to the University of Barcelona. They have been working with us for more than a year, really hard with many of their faculty to make this a really nice event for you. And also very, very importantly, Amacal Wikimedia, a team full of volunteers making this event perfect for you. Everyone, yeah, it's important to recognize that everybody organizing this event is doing it in their spare time. And this is something that's very special that we haven't seen before at a hackathon. So it's during the course of the weekend, make sure to find people from the university and from Amacal, think of something that you appreciate about this event and thank them in person, because as a volunteer, this is a huge amount of work to do on your spare time, on the weekends, at night, when you're busy. So let's one more round of applause for the university and Amacal. Just to welcome and we do this later, yeah. Okay, now it's time for Laia Benito, please. Okay, yes, okay. I will repeat the great thanks that Rachel has done and thanks to Rachel because she has been of really, really, really help. We couldn't have done it without her, so thanks Rachel. And I hope you have very, very, very productive three days because remember we are here to work and we are here together to encourage the project of the movement that we believe in. So have a nice trip, enjoy yourself, socialize, but also we wanna see a lot of work and I remember the closing event that is the showcase, we will take place here. So we will show each other what we have achieved during these three days. Now I'm going to review a little bit of logistics but if anything is not clear because I usually speak really fast. I think now I'm trying to do an effort but if not just pick me after the event and I will explain you personally. So sorry if I now I'm trying to speak really slow for my usual speed. So thank you, thank you, thank you. One more welcome and then we start the slides. Okay, please, Marius. Yes. Okay, thank you very much. Good morning to everyone. Welcome to the Autonomous University of Barcelona. Welcome to Barcelona and welcome to Catalonia. It's a pleasure for us. It's a pleasure for us, I was saying, hosting such an event, the most important wiki technical event worldwide. That impresses me too much. I must admit, I'm very impressed of the work you are doing. So I would like to congratulate you for the work you are doing currently. Okay, you are at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. We are celebrating our 50th anniversary and who could ask for more to host a worldwide event like this in our 50th anniversary because 50 years is not that much but it's quite a long journey until now. So we are very proud to host this event here because also I've been looking at your code of conduct, for example, and I appreciate very much those values linked with participation, with respect, with no discrimination, with a welcoming attitude and sharing knowledge who could ask for more also because of that. We share all these values. These are values from this university as well. So we are also happy for that. We are happy having here more than 240 participants worldwide from more than 48 countries who have come here to develop, to talk, to share knowledge as well in which also 20% are women. And I would like to underline this fact because it's not enough but it's quite a lot. We do not have this percentage of women in our technical careers, unfortunately. So this community you belong to shows that there's a lot of work to be done but still there's a lot of work already being done. I would like to thank, of course, the Wikimedia Foundation, of course the Amical Wikimedia UAB but also the School of Engineering and I would like to thank the dean for their effort also and our strategic research community in digital humanities because I know that they have been working hard to collaborate, to promote and make possible this event here. And from my side, not many more things. So welcome to this university, feel like at home, work hard, enjoy the Mediterranean. You are in the Mediterranean. You have to take that into account as well. So work but also enjoy. The weather, unfortunately, is not going to be what we would like to but it's quite okay. Yes and when you will see the food and you will see other things that will balance pretty well that. So enjoy, work hard and feel like at home and a great success for this event. Thank you very much. So now we start the slides so we say one more thank you to the University of Barcelona. Let's thank you. Okay, so I won't repeat the welcome words because they are repetitive so I will start talking about the logistics of the event. First of things, I will talk about the buses and the two venues. Sorry, now, yes? Okay. As I said before, here we will celebrate the opening and the showcase final but the whole event will take place in a university faculty. There will be a continuous service of bus. I know there has been issues with the driver. I hope they are already solved and he has learned the route. So don't worry and there will be a continuous route between the two hotels and the two faculties from 8 a.m. until midnight. The three days so you can go whenever you want to the faculty, to your room or to have a walk. And for those people who prefer to work at night the event will be open 24 hours and there will be three buses at two, at four, and at six in the end so you cannot go walking in the middle in the forest in the night so don't worry, so there will be a bus. There will be also continuous service of food at certain times and drinking because we know that some people prefer to go at night and this is a welcome event of 24 hours long. Also this is a thing I will insist later but we know that some people are celebrating Ramadan now or perhaps they are observing it. We know that when people are in travel they must not accommodate to follow the rules of the strategic behavior related to food. But in case some people of you are observing Ramadan don't worry because there will be food at night especially for you and not calling drinks if people allow so. So don't worry because we have taken this in account. Related to food, the main meals will be at one o'clock and at eight o'clock and you can take your meals with the dishes and go wherever you want to work with them and after this there will be some sandwich time that they will be announced like food, food so you can just run and grab some sandwiches and steal them from your neighborhoods and go back to coding. I think besides the main programs you will have also some social events that they are already in the wiki you can join whenever you want and for any further questions about this kind of movement around faculties, boosters, logistics times or I am hungry or what I am doing, please find me. I will talk now about the people of volunteers and out the color of the bands. The people will be identified with a hand grip or a band in the arms of four different colors. The red color that I explained later is for emergencies. Oh, for me, because I will be around everyone so if you just miss everything, just call us. The friend space policy people they will be always wearing red so if you are in an uncomfortable situation or you see some situation that you don't like just pick these people and they will know what to do because we really, really want all the people to feel include, to feel welcome and to work safe and comfortable. So any doubt, you feel not welcome, harassed, shy, whatever. Just pick and the red people will go to help. The bands of the rest of the people are yellow for the locals so if you are asking whatever, for example, what this dish contains, I can eat this or this kind of thing so the yellow people are local and they know how to move around hopefully if not they will ask me so. They will know the directions and there will be two other colors, green for mentorship and white for newcomers because they are starting on the white page in their minds and open to experience of Wikimedia. The volunteer is part-time so people will wear on and off bands so for example if you are a newcomer and you wear a white band and you feel okay, I want to be alone for now so please let me alone. Just take a band off and people know. If you need some help or you feel shy or nobody is talking to you, just put the band and somebody will just, alright. What's happening with you? Do you need help? The same for mentorship. If you feel tired of mentoring and one time on your own, just take the bands on and off. There will also be some mentoring teams more specialized and volunteer teams that have had racial organized and she will explain but just to know it will this visual aid. It is morally clear for the people, yes. If not, ask me again. And I think the last question I would like to underline is the emergency. There are three ways to solve the emergency. Of course, the first one is 112, the international call. So if you have real, real, real emergency, you can call. But we prefer to use the people with the red band or the local phone, the panic phone that is on the wiki and on the mails you have received. Remember it's only emergency so don't talk there to explain problems like hotels, bruces, this kind of stuff that can deal with the yellow people. So the red band people can deal with real problems. Yes, it's everything clear. For me, it doesn't off. Now Rachel will explain more or less the program. I want to repeat just that very welcome and I hope everything is okay for you. If not, we have tried our best as after Rachel said it's our first time organizing this huge event and we are all volunteers because we believe in amical way of doing things that people, if you don't believe this and you don't want to commit your free time it's not worth it to organize something. So like in Wikipedia it's volunteer editing most of tax of amical are also volunteers. So we also hope that the result is okay for you. If anything goes wrong, just complete to me, please. Thank you. Let's thank Laia. The amount, is this working? Can you hear? Yeah, the amount of work that Laia and Amical have done over the last year is just astounding and as I said before they're all volunteers so just remember that throughout the event. So as the dean of the engineering school said you're in the Mediterranean and this is Catalonia and so what the dean said 15 minutes ago is when something on the schedule says 10 a.m. that means it does not start before 10 a.m. This is just getting used to the culture of the place that we are in. So please, I think it might be also difficult for people coming from North America who have dinner at five in the afternoon. We have dinner later. We start later. Everything starts later. So please be starting to get acclimatized to this new ideas. So we say thank you and welcome to the hackathon. So the next slide is about the mentoring program. So this year we have a lot of newcomers. We have more than 50 people who identify as newcomer in the registration survey. So that's pretty special. Let's welcome them all. I want to give a huge amount of thanks to all the people that helped in the mentoring program before I talk about it. So in advance, Chris and Shristi from the technical collaboration team put a lot of effort into organizing the program. And then Aaron and Sonia are helping us to run the program here and Nick and Laia put so much effort into thinking about how to welcome the newcomers. So the mentoring program is basically for some people it will be about mentoring. You have a one-on-one mentor. For other people it's about training. You'll get to learn about a certain project on Wikimedia or learn a specific skill set. For other people it's just about attending sessions and learning about what the people around you are doing. This year what we're doing with the mentoring program is making it very flexible. So as Laia mentioned with the colorful bands that you'll wear, the mentors will be wearing their green bands when they're open for mentoring. That means anyone wearing a green band is here to help you approach them, you ask them questions, they have something for you to do and everyone who's wearing a white band on their arm that means they're identifying themselves as being new. They want you to talk to them, they want you to approach them, they want you to tell them about your project. So after this session we move to the engineering school. This is the auditorium that's big enough to hold everyone at the hackathon, but we have the whole engineering school for our hackathon over the weekend. On Friday we have some students with us in the university, so not everybody that you see will be from the hackathon, but on Saturday and Sunday no one else will be there except for us. The program has all of the rooms that we can use, but you can spread out along the hallways to use them as you like. So we have a... Oh, one more thing about the mentoring program is the first two sessions of the day are for the mentoring program to get everybody oriented. So the mentors go to one room and they talk about how to mentor and they talk about making posters that the newcomers can read and learn about the projects. And at the same time the newcomers will be getting an overview of the Wikimedia technical spaces. There's also a separate session in Catalan for those of you that prefer to learn about it in your native language. And then after those two separate sessions everybody comes together in the mentoring program to get matched and learn about projects. And every morning at 11 a.m., this is the beginning of the morning, we have a session if you don't know what to do that day, you can come to the session and we'll introduce you to people. The next point is the volunteering program. So we have, during registration, everybody had the opportunity to sign up for volunteering program. We have more than 100 people here volunteering to make this event better for you. So yeah, let's clap for them. Yeah, of course. So we have a photography program. So about 50 people signed up to volunteer to take photos at this event, put them on comments. And people at the engineering school, if you don't like photos you can get a new lanyard for your name badge that will be red and it will show that you don't want photos taken. And we will have hundreds of photos on comments for this event. We have a blogging program last year in Vienna. We had 25 blogs written about the event by participants themselves. They're up on the 2017 hackathon page in case you want to go back and read through them. And here a lot of people have volunteered for this program. We have a new program which is hosting run by Kim Jill. And it's basically like a socially approaching people who are new. So this is not about technical skills. If you're a host here at this event, you just approach people during meals and social events and make sure they can be introduced to other people. Nick is running the documentation. So make sure to document your programs and projects. And Nick will help with this. We have technical help. So if you need some technical help, Shrishdi has a list of people who can help you if you're looking for a specific skill set, talk to her. And then we have general help. So everyone who volunteered for the volunteering program, they're helping organizers and they're helping with a lot. And before I continue, anybody who is giving a quick talk about the pre hackathons or Amir who's talking about the friendly space policy, it would be helpful if you can come over to the side here just so you're ready to speak. So a quick note about the program and scheduling. In case you don't know, this is an unconference which means that every participant of this event can schedule sessions whenever they like and however they like. There are some guidelines on how to schedule on the wiki. But if you want to organize a session here, you can. And it's important to note that most of the work that is done here is hacking and on computers. So most people will not be in sessions. So the sessions will usually be pretty small. Don't feel any pressure to go to the sessions unless you're very interested in it. Otherwise people will just be working. And then Brendan is able to video record sessions. So there's one room, sessions principalists. This is going to be having video recording for everyone who wants it in that room. But if you have a session in a separate room and you would like video recording, you can talk to me or Brendan who's here in the front row. And we can try to organize this for you. So especially if you're doing a training and you think other people in the wiki media world can benefit from this, just we can put it on comments and we can put it on YouTube and a lot of people can watch. And you can have a much larger impact than you just have here at this event with 250 people. I always go the wrong way. Okay. Before the end of the event, we will send a survey for you to fill out with feedback about this event. Every single year we change the event from the previous year based on the things that you tell us. The wiki media hackathon has more participants, a higher percentage filling out the feedback survey than the most other conferences that I know of in the wiki media movement. At least ones that I see the data for. So that means that the people here really care about giving feedback and we read it really carefully every year. We write a summary publicly of what people liked, what people didn't like and what to change every year. You can go to previous hackathon pages and read the summaries of the previous events and we actually make changes. So this is just one reminder to fill the survey out because we want to change and make this event more valuable for you. Next we have Amir to talk about the friendly space policy. Hello, can you hear me? Okay, so let's start. First of all, I'm Amir, I'm a member of Code of Conduct Committee and today I'm going to talk about friendly space policy and code of conduct. So I don't know if you know about them but there are things that are covered and it's important for us to be following them and they are really large and there are lots of them. It's sometimes hard to read so I kind of want to give you the gist of it and it's like, be nice. And in the other hand, I want to give you what type of reports that we receive about this code of conduct violations. It's around three types. First of all is that some people are pure racists say racist things, sexist things, homophobic things. I hope that you're not racist so this is something else. But the second part is that when people get angry they say things that they should not say. So remember that please in the discussions please criticize ideas, not people. This is very important. And the third type of cases that we report is about sexual harassment which just happens in the... even it's very more than other places. So I want to remind you that if someone is nice to it doesn't mean that they want to sleep with you. So keep that in mind please. So first of all, and if you see violations and if you see something that's happening and the person doesn't want to report, please say something. It's important that we keep these events safe and welcome for everyone. So I want you to highlight people who are in the call of conduct committee or friendly space policy team. If you are a member of this committee please stand up. Ok, I'm going to name you. Rachel, you know Rachel. Nick, Nuria, Tony and Kim. Florian, yeah. So if you see some... Caroline. So if you see something, please contact me or anyone in here. And also you can send... or we can contact them or you can send an e-mail to take conduct at thecomedia.org send an e-mail to one of us and we will forward this to the committee. And yeah, and please be nice to show there. And that's all. Thank you. So just follow up on the friendly space policy. I think Tony is also here. I think... are you here Tony? Yeah, here. We didn't mention him. And then also Lucy is not here yet but she's also part of the friendly space committee. You can recognize everyone on the friendly space committee with also the red band. So emergencies or friendly space violations if someone has a red bandana you can notice them. Next we have Tony talking about the pre-hacathons that happened before this event. Good morning everyone. Let me say good morning. So I'm going to talk about the pre-hacathons. As many of you already know this concept was something that was I think first time invented cotsai Canada idea in the Vienna hackathon last year. As far as I remember they basically they held different pre-events and cities not only in Vienna but I think it was in Prague, in Greece etc. So I was there I thought oh that's a very nice idea because you are engaging people from other communities even also local communities not necessarily wikimedean ones technical ones. I think ok. So next year in Barcelona we will try to do the same. So because in the end the main idea I was trying to transfer to say all people is that we are very happy having you all here but at the same time we don't want these to be only a parachuting event something that happens here so we have a big event happening here and then nothing happens. So we want that all your knowledge or your experience can give a there must be a trace something so a seed that can help to get more developers to get more technical people in the different communities and then contribute back to the global project. So after this kind of introduction we are going to start to mention all the different ones so the first prehacatomí had was was in a lot and then we have Amir that will explain what we did there. Yes. Achat shtaim shalosh. Hi. Ok. Hi. My name is Amir. I am the language strategist in the wikimedea foundation and I visited the beautiful little but beautiful event in a lot. It was in Lauder. Hi. The event in a lot a lot is a town to the north west from Catalonia from Barcelona. Beautiful place. So what we worked on there we worked mainly on internationalization issues internationalization also known as for short I18N that's adapting software for different languages making it work better and developing language tools. So some topics that we worked on there there were people participating from the aperitium project which is an open source machine translation project. So we worked on plans for better collaboration between wikimedea and aperitium. This is actually so the plans that started there there is now a Google summer of code project running for improving aperitium based on machine based on translations in wikimedea which is a beautiful thing that started there now it's actually working. We worked on a plan for better integration of the language tool software into wikimedea there were people from the language tool project it's an open source tool for fixing grammar and style and spelling in a lot of different languages. In our own fabricator there's a board of internationalization bugs it had more than 1000 bugs that were untriaged, unsorted so now it's down from something like did I say 100? 1000 there were more than 1000 untriaged and sorted bugs it is now down from more than 1000 untriaged so somewhere around 600 which was a nice progress it started there and finally we were designing new ways to translate better currently our translation tools there for translating whole articles we were working on designs for translating parts of articles which is a very frequently requested feature pao jener, our designer, he is also there so he was leading that project working on better suggestions systems for translations and topics like that mainly around internationalization it was very nice that that event included people who are not only software developers but also people who are linguists, people who are digital humanities experts it was really a little but very beautiful event and a nice preparation for this one and yeah very nice, very diverse small event but people from different countries and different hills some experienced some are not I always love this about Wikimedia hackathons that they are welcoming to new people and that's it, thank you for organizing that ok, move on we have more pre-hackathons something I didn't mention apart from the pre-hackathons we have some gatherings with local tech meet-ups so as far as I remember we had one with Bell Local Group in Barcelona so we tried to introduce a bit because I see people here and then also with Python community but later on we had also one event specifically focused for Wikimedia Catalan community it was done actually in the sea of the association in Casarlandaí, Barcelona it's actually a very nice building Mike, oh sorry here, here, ok I'm not used to having all this how can I check thank you yeah so it's actually a very nice nice building you know the FGC the one, the line that you took it's a neighborhood that not many people know it's a very wealthy neighborhood and there are a lot of art nouveau buildings there so that's the place where we had the pre-hackathon event was only a morning event so what we tried to do is basically for local people that were already doing some boats some other technical stuff so they put together into a guide repository setting up a two-forge server two-forge account, sorry and that was it simply we spent the morning there we tried to do peer-to-peer learning to different people it was a small event but also very diverse, we had different people and I think it was a good time yeah ok, some Montpellier ok, hello hello so last year in the hackathon in Vienna I was asked by organizer of the event of this year if we wanted to organize a pre-hackathon in southern France so last year during the wiki convention we had a meeting about what where the tech topics the french community wanted to work on so in April we had a meeting in Montpellier in southern France to work on updating the gadgets on the french Wikipedia so around 10 people came and over the weekend after a crash course about state of the art javascript for media wiki we worked on improving the gadgets on the french Wikipedia and around 12% of all the gadgets were updated and after that we had a long talk about how we can centralize the gadgets so that when we update a gadget it profits to all all the projects and all we can internationalize them efficiently and that's what we want to continue to work on so if you want to work on centralization and internationalization of gadgets for the project during this weekend just come to see me please so that's me again so basically as another pre hackathon we had one about this focus on open science at the PRVB PRVB is a building you cannot see from here I took the bad perspective, bad choice of photo is by the sea so that's the place actually where I work my idea was trying to get people or the idea was trying to get people from the science environment so they could be more familiar with all the different initiatives that are going on with Wikipedia so we were lucky to have the collaboration from the center for genomic regulation is actually the place I work and also foster initiative it's an open science initiative for fostering research in Europe and so so what we did is basically it was one day event it was not let's say comparison with Montpellier or Lodwas today that we tried to get people so mostly where people were researchers other people were project managers of scientific projects a few colors as well and we tried to go together to think the ways we could make a fruitful collaboration between Wikimedia and open science so it was a very nice session we tried to put notes about these on the on the wiki page, I recommend you some of the slides and also in the end not so much so many people try to to learn more about Wikimedia but on the end we we managed to get some things to do I must admit there was one thing about Oabot and Wikisai this Oabot is an open access boat so I didn't know about this I must admit so it's initiative that tried to to add to to Wikipedia entries so open access articles so people can freely go there so there was a lot of interest so people working in bibliografic fields and all this to try to improve this so it's something that as you know there is a track on Wikisai so it would be something we would suggest to work with and also there was another another stuff that I think it's it's not so much coding but I think it's also interesting it's as as open research maybe it's getting more more common as a positive thing there is also the need of people in different centers or academia that might have a good profile a good knowledge about how to how to create data how to follow the different pressures in order to make data open and all this and I think this is a very important as a very important opportunity so Wikimedia can say something about this so people so different researchers that produce different different things different data so that eventually this can be linked to Wikidata and and other resources we provide so there was an idea try to try to put down to write down some recommendations about how this profile could be and I think that's it Hello I'm Miriam from research scientist at the Wikidata Foundation and I'm here to tell you about the amazing time we had at the women's tech store which was the women hackathon was held last week organized by Wikimedia Netherlands Volunteer & Staff at the Royal Library in the Hague in the Netherlands a beautiful place and actually this was part one of two part hackathon the second part is going to be in November we had a lot of fun so if you are around please go to the second part so the women tech storm the goal of the women tech storm was basically to increase gender diversity in Wikimedia spaces and in tech spaces in general so it was dedicated to women and non binary folks so who participated so among the many applications that they got the organizers selected 18 participants half Wikimedians with possibly a little experience in coding and heavy techs up and half techies very geeks with little experience in Wikimedia spaces so the goal of the hackathon was basically for these two halves to blend and learn from each other and for that organizers also invited eight mentors to help participants with this goal mentors are around there Martin, Armir IC Sam etc so yeah we also had some special guests the Wikimedia cuteness team helping us with our projects it was very great they really supported us so what happened is that it was a two day and a half hackathon the first half day we had a social event which was a game around the city of the hate we had a lot of fun and this was one of the most serious pictures we could find we had a lot of truebuffle which is something that happens a lot when Wikimedia and Adalans folks are around apparently I learned and also we did some serious stuff so we had five workshops on Wikimedia technologies in general so for example Sparkle or the Glam tools and in parallel we divided participants into five say theme specific tables hacking tables so a table was about machine learning another one about Python bot etc and participants would go to this table and hack a project on specific to the team and as mentors we were going around and helping participants so the results obviously the goal of the hackathon was to kind of help new commerce getting familiar with technologies so someone was very happy some new commerce to the Wikimedia space was very happy to create the first Wikidata items and to start adding occupations to cats who have jobs or something like that someone created the first Python bot and they were blocked by English Wikimedia and then well we also did some computer vision stuff to match paintings for to link to Wikidata items also in parallel to all this we had a parallel challenge all of us because if you look at the women's text or logo this is a cryptogram and there is a sentence hidden behind it and so our task during the hackathon was also to decrypt this pictogram actually who did it was one of the youngest participants after a few hours and just to tell you the sentence hidden behind the logo is this ok and that's it for me the last slide isn't working but what happens now is the open mic so what we like to do is let everyone in the audience who wants to talk about what they are here to do or which type of help they need so sometimes we have 10 people sometimes we have 60 people Nick is taking notes for us so if you don't remember the name of somebody who gets on stage and says their project you can check the notes which will be on the wiki please before you say what you're going to work on here say your name clearly and maybe the project name so we can have it in the notes so the way that we're going to do this logistically is people will line up here on the side you have one minute maximum of two minutes if you get anywhere close to two minutes we just end and go to the next person so anybody who wants to say something for the open mic talk about your session, your project the help you need please come over here and we'll start hey folks my name is Brian Davis and I work for the wikimedia foundation I'm part of the cloud services team and we'll be around there's several of us here today we'll be around all weekend closer to the mic hey look at that alright so we'll be around all weekend basically our job is to help y'all get things done so if you're having problems with tool forge and using it find us and we'll try to help out and tomorrow at 10 am I know super early for local time but tomorrow at 10 am we'll be giving a talk called what is cloud services and why should I care if you don't know anything about it come check us out thanks good morning my name is James Hare I also work at the wikimedia foundation and my goal is to make it easier for you to do the thing you do whatever that thing is so if you are involved on the wikimedia projects at all I am interested in hearing about what you do and how you get it done my goal is to get an understanding of the different tools people use in their work and how I can better organize information around these tools which is why I'm also happy to be which is why I'm also happy to introduce you all to a new project called tool hub which will organize all of these tools into one nice place you can look for them in so if you are interested at all in this even if you don't think you are interested you might be then please talk to me I'll be around all weekend, thank you so good morning everyone they are Birgit and Fish from the wikimedia Germany engineering group so we have several things we want to pitch first of all we came here with a couple of task recommendations for both wiki data and the feature called revision slider that is live since one year and some of the task we would recommend are very friendly for newcomers and some of them are a bit more epic or a bit more require a bit more knowledge so for example we have something we are looking for finding biases and content gaps in wiki data and nice visualizations of that or we are always interested in new wiki data games and as said revision slider tickets but there is more and we are going to be at the project matching session and advertise it and have a nice poster so you can look at it yes, so I just wanted to really encourage you to look at these tasks because also like for really really really starting newcomers we have really nice and tiny tasks that are still important and valuable so you can just come and grab one also we will having a session on fixing the recommendation system tomorrow it's at 12 so like getting the recommendation for tasks for newcomers or volunteers to pick on the right way so it's really working well and people can start doing things there and that session is also together with Ander, can you raise your hand so Ander thanks ok, is that it? hello, I'm Sandra I also work for the foundation I don't know if you all know this but our fantastic media repository that we have in the Wikimedia ecosystem, Wikimedia Commons is going through a very big changes this year it's going to be converted to structured data I know that many people are really curious about that actually we are here with quite a few people from the development team maybe you can raise your hand if you're part of the team I haven't seen some of you yet well we're here like four or five people we will be sitting together at the table you can join us we also have a few sessions to talk about changes that will happen so that we can brainstorm together how we can improve the existing Commons tools new opportunities that we see I'm specifically here because I'm the glam girl glam lady so if you're specifically interested in doing stuff with cultural institutions and Commons there are many collaborations happening many new opportunities for tool building or adapting existing tools there will also be a session about that and we can talk so find us hi, I'm Trey and I'm with the Wikimedia Foundation search team and my personal theme for this weekend is tell me why your search sucks so if you have trouble with search anything, particularly if it's not in English and particularly if it's not Wikipedia but anything at all that is problem with search I have a big sign right there come tell me why your search sucks it will just be around whoever is sitting near the sign wants you to tell them which problems are and we'll see if there's something we can do or help you search better hello, I am Nestlehan if you couldn't write my name I will help you later and I am from Wikimedia Commons Android application team and probably as some of you know we facilitate uploads to Commons via app and we discover nearby places that doesn't have photo wikidata items and when you upload the item is also fixed and this year in the hackathon we plan to add some peer review option for photos uploaded by other people and if I stay show your hands from Wikimedia Android application no one is going to show your hands because I am the only one that's why I need your help and I need some volunteers to use the app and record some video if there is a video maker here it will be great because we want to show our new features for the video and thanks hello, my name is Hai that's HAY I am not a part of the Wikimedia foundation I created this logo and I'm very glad that people actually got it hacked that's nice for this hackathon I'm mostly busy with doing frontend stuff JavaScript and Wikidata and I want to do something with virtual reality at this hackathon so if you have any ideas on what application you would like to see and what is like approachable in two days or three days or if you have some knowledge about let's say three dimensional mathematics I could use your help because I'm very bad at that but I like making stuff and I'm not that good at math so that's me, thank you hi, I'm Lea the product manager for Wikidata and I'm Lea community communication project manager for Wikidata and we are basically here to help you with all your questions related to Wikidata we also have a bunch of projects that if you don't know what to do yet you could work on like figuring out content gaps on Wikidata building some games for Wikidata finding items that need to be merged on Wikidata or adding sources references automatically to Wikidata statements and so on if any of those sounds interesting come to us and we can talk about it we're also going to introduce the new future feature in Wikidata lexicorofical data we're gonna have a session tomorrow at 12 I think and we're also interested into testing with you the feature and the workflow and to see if it works for you so feel free to come to me and also I can redirect you to one of my colleagues who's working on this if you want to try this a bit in advance before the extension is actually officially deployed the second thing is documentation, yeah so just like last year we're gonna run a documentation corner this year we're gonna have a room just for us called salade documentación something like this and you can come to us if you want to dedicate some time during your weekend about technical documentation you will have some space you will have some people to help I think we're gonna do some kind of kick off at the beginning of the afternoon if you want to come but of course you don't have to spend your whole weekend there just whenever you want come and document with us thank you hello, my name is Kim I want to help people finding each other and I want to help people helping each other so three activities this weekend one is very official I'm coordinating these event hosts team if you signed up, hi, it's me I sent an email yesterday there's a matrix room open for us to coordinate feel free to reach out second thing, semi-oficial it's been a few months that we have been running a pilot for a Wikimedia developer support space the idea is to make it the one and only place where any developer goes and asks questions nicely said but difficult to get there probably I will schedule a session based on the interest but if you're interested in this, reach out to me and let's talk and the third thing not official at all if you are into the fediverse new social master on, hapsila diaspora, all those things good at least one hey, let's talk whatever is the hashtag and all the things recommended for the whole event just that you know that I will try to just you know, see that hashtag in all those areas just because it's fun thank you hi so here you do, I'm Antoine and we are going to work on Lindor Libre we just released yesterday the first beta version of Lindor Libre which is a tool to record words in any languages and then upload them on comments and reuse them on dictionaries and Wikipedia so if you're interested in languages words and so on just come to us especially if you have skills in design or user experience we miss the skills so just come to us thanks we are also looking for people connected to native speaker in minor language so if you have a good network with such people interesting to record their language please come to talk with us also a side of this, I will be working on a project on Chinese language and how to write Chinese characters so this is another project so you can also contact me if you are interested by Chinese language thank you hello, my name is Amir I work for Wikimedia Deutschland but 50% of my time I work on the Wikidata team and the other 50% it's OS team which is a scoring platform but today I want to work in this hackathon I want to work on three things first of all if there is anything that OS for different languages if OS is not supported in your languages especially in order to fight bandals if you think you know servers that we don't cover in our code base please come to talk to me and we sit and see what's going on there and second part is that I am working to rework change tag table if you are using change tag for any reason please come to me and we will fix your application and the third part is that I really like to enable two factor authentication for everyone but it requires some changes in the code base especially the extension and I want to work on that if anyone want to help me just come talk to me that's all I'm just mentioning a workshop that's happening at four today Amir touched on the ORS service and this is all about how to use the ORS service for your projects it can do things it's already a production service that you can connect to it's quite simple but you might want to show up for either an introduction or a refresher to the different scoring models we provide and how to use the data, how to interpret it just some of them off the bat we can we can help you evaluate article quality at any point in history current or the trends over time we can help you predict whether a revision was damaging or made in good or bad faith and as of last week we can also help you connect a revision with wiki projects that might be interested in helping with this article even given just one or two sentences so this workshop is happening at 4pm it's in the same room as the mentor mentee pairing session so if you just linger after that we can help you connect yourself with ORS thank you what is this horror thing sounds interesting hi everybody I'm Dario with the wikimedia's research team and I want to give you two pitches with a bunch of people hiding here in the room we've been running for the past two years initiative called wikisite and wikisite is initiative basically to try and make citations suck less in wikimedia projects the core of this is an idea to build a rich knowledge base of sources in wikidata and that requires a lot of tool development data models data ingestion pipeline design etc etc so that's something you're excited about we have a dedicated room and there's a bunch of people here in the audience who have been at wikisite events wave if you've been there before so come and find us and I also want to flag this is not just for engineers or software developers there's a ton of interest for data models so if you're a librarian if you care about open scholarship open science do come and find us second pitch my second hat is a member of the research team we have a bunch of people here Diego and Miriam particularly are visiting the hackathon so if you're interested in anything we're doing at a foundation involving research machine learning please do come and find us thank you I'm Daniel where so many hats that I kind of have travel juggling them all yeah I'm here as chair of the technical committee and recently I've been involved with planning the platform evolution a bit and in more concrete terms I've been working on multi content revisions and I would like to point out specifically three things that you may be interested in one is if you want to know more about where we want to go with the platform meaning media wiki core and everything associated with it please come and attend the session I scheduled for Saturday 6pm I think about platform architecture principles the second thing is if you are using data from the wikis in some form so not just you know natural language text but any kind of data meta data apis dumps if you use the database directly on tool forage if you use a query service for wiki data and especially if you have any troubles with that and you think this is really horrible and it should be much better please let me know because apis are going to be very important for the platform evolution and if you want to know what this strange multi content revision thing is you should care please also come to me I haven't set up a session for that yet but I think I will so keep an eye out for that thanks hello I'm Finn and I work with the Scolia we are a group of people that develop Scolia it's a website that display the display scientific information extracted from wiki data we are using a lot of sparkle queries picking them out of wiki data and displaying them in various formats so we will be developing and extending it and looking it on it during these days I think we are looking into for example design how should the page look like perhaps a new logo we haven't any local some sparkle development javascript development and d3 perhaps so if you are interested in any things come and join us we will be in the wiki site room hi I'm Vera from the Netherlands I'm working on getting more video embedded in Wikipedia articles for this I've been monitoring RSS feeds from YouTube because there's actually quite a lot of free licensed video on YouTube that needs to be transferred to wikimedia comments if you are also interested in this I'm very interested in finding people that are also willing to do this and aren't Dutch because I'm working on a bot that categorizes these videos because if you're monitoring videos being published by local news it can escalate into being a lot of videos and categorizing them can be tedious and computers don't mind doing tedious repetitive stuff so I'm trying to add a GUI to my bot so that other people can more easily give its instructions for this categorization part I'm trying to do that as a symphony module I'm not very experienced with that yet so if you think you can help me with that also it would also be helpful to contact me thank you Hi, I'm Nicole Eber working at wikimedia Deutschland and I'm the program manager for the movement strategy process and this is also the topic that I want to talk to you about and actually listen to your ideas and thoughts around it so wikimedia wants to become the essential infrastructure in the ecosystem of free knowledge this is what our new strategic direction says but the big question now is how do we actually get there is not something that the strategy core team will just come up with but we want to work together with different working groups on different topics or thematic areas to tackle these questions and one of these working groups will be a group around technology platform, product, engineering we still need to come up with a name and I'm happy to hear your ideas about it and I want to talk about this working group and what the high level questions are should be tackling who should actually be in this working group and how should this or how can this working group work to develop recommendations for the needed change to work towards our strategic direction and I have a session scheduled today at 7 in one of the rooms in the first column I think I don't know the name anymore but you will see it on the agenda and I will also try to host the table or a corner starting tomorrow where I want to discuss like all these questions and I will walk with a little kanban board with small to do so I have tried to break up all the tasks that are in front of not all of them, a couple of tasks that are in front of us and would like to hear your thoughts and support on this and there will be candies as well so maybe that helps and otherwise please talk to me related to the movement strategy thanks Hi, I'm Carolyn, I'm a designer at the foundation and I'm working with Daisy he's raising her hand up there we are looking for user feedback so we have a variety of different short tests they're about 15 minutes long or less we'll give you a t-shirt or a cool button for your time and if you don't have time during hackathon we also have a survey so that you can help us out later we'll be in the hackathon area, thanks Hi, I'm Pao I'm a designer working for the community foundation and as you see I'm not the only one here during the hackathon if you are working on a project that users are going to interact with and you want your app to be easy to use, have a clean UI and be aligned with our style guide to make it consistent with the platform we'll have a help desk or design that can help you and also if you are generally interested in design we are also happy to talk with you thanks Hello, I'm Marcus I am of the media wiki stakeholders group which is a group that helps media wiki maintainers that use media wiki outside of the foundation and I want to announce we have an open meeting tomorrow at two so if you run a media wiki questions you need any help get there and then second thing I want to announce the most boring session of this hackathon that is you probably know that there's a new privacy protection law in the EU right now called the GDPR and I want to know how media wiki technically relates to the GDPR I have some ideas but not a solution not something perfect if anyone's interested as well there will be a workshop tomorrow at five where I guess we should try in position media wiki and see what technical features might be missing to support the application of GDPR in media wiki, thanks Hello, my name is Robert I'm here for two things first I want to work on a composer based extension repository that aims to ease the process of installing and updating extensions and the second one is I want to work on the LDAP authentication stack of the media wiki stakeholders group and want to bring it close to release state so yeah if anybody is interested in those topics please just contact me I haven't scheduled any sessions yet but yeah we will see if anybody wants to talk to me thank you Hi, I'm Sara, I'm working on Timeless which is a new skin that's kind of experimental, has been deployed to wikimedia, a lot of you are familiar with it but basically if you run into problems with that in particular I would love for you to show me these problems or if you would like to help solve these problems that is wonderful as well I'm also trying to collect information on mobile problems that extensions are having not just with Timeless but with media wiki in general because a lot of these things are problems across skins so we need to even if I can't help fix them we can start compiling lists of these things which means that then we can start addressing them maybe at core or whatever also if you just have any problems with skins or you want to make your extension work better across skins you can come to me for that or you want to do anything with skinning I can also help there so yeah I have a grant proposal in for funding for Timeless that we should find out if it's accepted probably tomorrow since we're in this time zone so wish me luck I guess yeah Hi I'm Neharika I work on the community tech team at the wikimedia foundation this hackathon I'm working on a tool forge tool paired with a user script to do label detection and category suggestion for common images if you're interested or want to learn about it or have ideas please find me at the hackathon area thank you Hello my name is Olga and I'm a product manager for the readers web team at the wikimedia foundation and so right that name is increasingly misleading because we'll mostly be working over the next couple of days on thinking about how to add and enable some contribution and editing workflows for the mobile website so we'll be running a couple of sessions one today and one tomorrow when we'll be more sort of like high level and the other one will go more into detail but we're also like welcome and open to other ideas or putting together a small project or something like that so yeah I'm pretty excited Hello everyone I'm Srishti three quick things first if you are a newcomer to wikimedia and need help in finding a project to work on at the hackathon come and talk to me I'll be working around it at 2 p.m. today second if you are interested in applying to an internship program with wikimedia I'm doing a session on it tomorrow I'll tell you more about Google summer of code and outreach program and third if you are interested in setting up media wiki development environment I have some usb drives with fresh copy of media wiki we are going to ISO on them and select them from me thanks Hi I'm Steven I'm on the readers web team at the wikimedia foundation and this is Monty he's on the IOS team over at the foundation we'll be working on the wikimedia page library this is a javascript library that is used by the wikimedia native apps for android and IOS if you have an interest in native development or javascript development we'll be working on some open tasks but we're also very open to mentoring so come on by thanks Hi I'm Antonin and I'm part of the team behind open refine it's a software that can help you import data into wikidata so if you're interested in the sort of data imports I'm interested to meet you and maybe the tool can potentially help you sorry it's not that so the tool can help you import data into wikidata and if not I'm very interested in learning how I can improve the tool so that it fits your needs so I've scheduled a session tomorrow at 2 2 p.m. in the Saturday project this and I'm also working on OA bot which is the tool that was mentioned earlier so that's something that adds open access links in wikipedia citations and we're going to work on that in the wikisite room Hi there Birgit said I'm Andre and I run a session on a fabricator later today which is a task checking tool to organize your projects, your work around projects if you have any questions or comments or feedback about that either come to the session or just grab me somewhere and the other topic I'm also interested about is statistics, metrics on our technical community like simple example how many people commit to Garrett's code review or something per month and we also have a website for this and I also plan to have a session about that tomorrow if you're interested just catch me somewhere I'll come to the session, thanks Hi, my name is Amir I'll speak in three short parts part one how many of you can recite the wikimedia moto by heart imagine a world imagine a world in which not a lot of you imagine a world in which every human being can share in the sum of all knowledge so if we count all human beings most of them don't know English so whatever code you develop here please ask yourself how well will this work in other languages and how well will this work in other wikis if you ask yourself and you're not sure what is the answer, please ask me there's myself and several other people who are experts in internationalization will be happy to help you, that's part one how many of you use telegram ok, how many of you use telegram for anything other than the wikimedia hackathon channel imagine a world in which you can edit wikis straight from telegram that's what I'm working on so if that sounds interesting please come to me, part three I have cookies Hi, I'm Christian, I'm from Italy I'm a member of wikimedia Italia and I have three things to work on I'm working on a page view analytics with analytics team I am aggregating them so that they are easier to reuse that's almost done but if you're interested in the technologies that I'm using that are mainly Python and Spark you can come and talk to me the second thing is OEBOT there is Antoin which is the project leader but I would like to work on a test creating some test for the OEBOT if you have experience with testing and creating test suits for Python you are very welcome to help me and the third thing I am a wikipedia mainly by several wikisource friends so where are my wikisource people in Italy and in Catalan wikisource and also in other communities we do a contest for wikisource for celebrating the wikisource anniversary there are a bunch of scripts that do everything basically the content is about reading books you just need to be able to read and you can participate but then somebody needs to count the votes how many pages basically you have read to decide who is the winner of the contest what I want to do is transform this bunch of scripts that already work and make an interface so that in every community it's very easy also for non-technical people to set up their own wikisource contests so that everybody can do their wikisource anniversary contest in their language so if you are interested in that and for that I need people with front end development knowledge or back end please come and find me thank you hi, I am Lucas I will mostly be working with Pintosh on open refine I think but also at wikimedia germany I work on quality constraints on wikidata so if you want to do anything with that please talk to me or if you are interested in doing anything with queries on wikidata with sparkle then also please find me thank you I work in the wikispeach project which is a project that aims to make the articles on wikipedia listenable by means of text to speech technologies which is quite advanced and I will be working on that and also sometime in the afternoon there are other four people coming from the vast country which intend to work in the oris project and in machine translation tools for wikipedia so if anyone wants to to come and help in any of those projects feel free to join us thank you hello, I am Sejal and I work on enhancing the user experience on the programs and events dashboard it's a website which facilitates organizing editor thons and programs like that it helps organizers keep track of the edits made on wikipedia the technical stack is rubion rails javascript, redux and we are looking forward for having some newcomers solve some add some new features and solve some already known bugs I have my friend Meidha here she works on the same project and we are looking forward to meeting you good morning I am Joe Matizoni product manager of the collaboration team and we are kind of in the homestretch on a project about maps for cartographer maps and particularly map internationalization so if you see me or any of the other collaboration team collaboration team members can you stand up quick so so people can see who you are there's Ron Stefan over there anyway if you see us we have some ideas on something you want to work on and we are happy to talk to you good morning so imagine a world where you can edit wikipedia by playing ukulele now that I have your attention seriously so I'll be working on selenium stuff so if you're interested in testing please talk to me so there's a session Sunday morning first thing like 11am just after the introduction to tesion development to selenium and the rest of the hackathon I'll be sitting on the table it'll be labeled selenium and waiting for you to come and either write some tests or help you translate your ruby selenium test to JavaScript or if you want to help me work on the selenium framework please and see you there hi I'm Leah and me and Moritz over there we're interested in the topic of maintaining extensions and gadgets and we feel like there seem to be quite a lot of lone wolves out there and if you're a person that is maintaining an extension or a gadget and you would really like to have another person doing this with you or you're a person who would really like to have some long term commitment in this great world of wikipedia then come and talk to us because we're interested in discussing about this more hello I'm Daniel Michen, I'm a researcher have three topics the first one is open access videos the other one is wikibase federation and the third one is disaster preparedness in terms of open access videos I had a bot that I stopped a few months ago because it's workflows predate wikidata they predate webm on commons they predate structured commons and basically the code needs to be updated to take into account all these changes in terms of wikibase I'm working together with a number of other people who are interested in using wikibase in research context for research databases and I would be happy to talk about that and in terms of disaster preparedness wikimedia projects are involved in covering disasters in many different ways usually we do this on a content then but I would be interested in developing tools and workflows that make our disaster response more effective so for instance we could think of sparkle queries that give us the number of people affected or living around the epicenter of an earthquake things like that and if you're interested in that come talk to me I'll be in the wikiside room Hello I'm Benoa I'm one of the community liaison for the wikimedia foundation where several community liaison of former community liaison there so if you want to reach out communities have an expertise about how to communicate with communities document what you do translate what you do yeah please ask us if you have also questions about for instance tech news which is a great way to communicate with communities please ask I'm also looking for projects that are their goal is to welcome newcomers on the wikis and is newcomers first steps we are several people interested by that on the wikis so yeah and several people attending here interested by that so please ask me if you are working like that about that I would be very happy to discuss with you about how to improve newcomers first steps thank you Hi I'm Falker I'm leading user interface standardization on audiences design team at the wikimedia foundation and I have two work focuses the hackathon one is to give you a summary of what happened at the design style guide and what you can use it for over the last year and in future and the second one is accessibility yesterday was global accessibility awareness day and I will work with you come and approach me ask your questions on how we can make your product work better for all of us in accessibility terms thank you hi so I'm John I think it's really tempting of these hackathons just to sit down and code and hang out with people you know so I'm really interested in connecting people like doing interesting things so please come and talk to me if there's something you want to talk like meet someone new and do something that would be cool to connect you yeah I'm interested in anything like do progressive web apps react if you do anything react that'd be interesting to talk to you about that and if you're frustrated of any like mobile workflows that don't work on mobile and you want to make them work like come talk to me let's try and work at how that can happen so for example if you want to revert edits and you can't do that so I'm Thomas, TPT on the project so I'm mostly active on wikisource technical stuff so if you want to work on wikisource I have plenty idea of projects if you have a project on wikisource I'm also running after a very good experience on the french wikisource at today a session about micro data so how to embed structured data inside of wikipages it works quite well and also have a lot of good idea of projects around it so for example have a sparkling points that would extract such data from wikipages and allow you to query them on the scope of whole wiki so I think it could be great so and I'm also maintaining wiki data so if you want to if you have feedbacks about it won't help please bring me test test test I just want to test if this is still working because first again we will have a session about tests it's going to be on Sunday also pretty early like ten or something so if you are like hacking cool stuff here and at the end of the day it works and everything is fine but you want to make it nice and tests can help to make sure while making it nice it still does what you want to do it so if you are interested in tests and how to write them and how they work in the media wiki world and join our session on Sunday morning at ten I think hi I'm Gabriel from wikimedia Germany and I guess most of you are not nerds who are sitting in the basement all day so you have to interact with community members team members or just your friends I guess you have friends right and so in those situations conflicts can arise and Lea and me will present a session tomorrow on with a to give you more tools to look at those conflicts and try to understand them and maybe even resolve them and do me a hackathon if you have some communication situation also called conflict that you would like to debug or get some input on please come to me I yeah will listen to you and maybe give you some insight thank you hi I'm also from wikimedia Germany and Tonina right over there say hi and I am going to give a session about UI tests or automated UI tests and it's going to be very let's say even UI tests one on one so before I go deep dive into Node.js or Ruby or however you want to you kind of need to understand how you want to structure this thing it's going to be very kind of easy and getting you into the design patterns and how to properly set up your test environment so it would be easier to read write and in the end also maintain and that's it hello my name is Chris I work for the wikimedia foundation I'm also a member of the media wiki stakeholders group but I'm not here to talk to you about any of that I'm actually interested in making it easier to reuse and embed wikimedia content in other places on the internet particularly with the open source content management system called WordPress so right now you got to copy a picture or a URL and you have to do all the attribution yourself make sure you get the copyright and the size and so on and so forth I want to build a plugin that makes it where you punch in a URL and auto generate some sort of preview or some sort of preview of the content right in the CMS or anything related to that just expanding what we do with our content outside of the media wiki owned wiki so that's my idea come find me I've got a session later this evening if you want to know more hello everyone I am Alex some part of the newly named side real ability engineering team and what that team along with a release engineering team and services team is trying to do for the next one year and a half is something that probably most of you as far as front end goes you will not notice is changing how the infrastructure is being set up this is a new paradigm shift that we're trying to move forward with and it's based around the Kubernetes tool and ecosystem so if you're interested in that if you're a backend service developer and you want to find out how in the future you will be able to write and run a service in our infrastructure that powers something you're better than me to say that something what would be please talk to me and to the release engineering the SRE and the services team we'll be very very happy to help you thank you hi I'm Maxime from the Inventaio project we are here with Vince if you can raise your hand up there so you can come to us to talk about the Inventaio project which is a web application to help you do the list of your books using wikidata data and so to do that we add to work with wikidata API, wikidata dumps query service so we have knowledge about all those things so you can come to us to talk about that we have also questions about data around books so we will be all the time probably in the wiki data wiki site room and so you can just talk to us about that and also to do that we had to develop a few tools in JavaScript which are which are gathered around under the name of wikidata GS and which contain wikidata SDK wikidata edit wikidata command line interface wikidata filter you can just come to us to talk about those and also I have two more projects that you can come to me about which is the hub which is wikidata to redirect you from wikimedia project to some other wikimedia project and things like that and also I've been working on the wikidata rank which is trying to sort of a page rank of wikidata item with cc0data and a web API so you can also come to me to talk about that thanks hello my name is Suvachagan I'm from wikimedia Armenia but currently I study in Germany and I don't have a project I want to pitch myself I'm a student in computational linguistics and if anyone has a project that has to do with natural language processing text, machine learning information retrieval please contact me I will be glad to join you especially if you have a long time project because I'm interested to work spend a lot of time in one project thank you hi my name is Dan Duval I'm on the release engineering team at the foundation and this is kind of piggy backs on what alexandros was talking about with kubernetes Tyler, subriani and I on release engineering are going to be hacking on a tool called blubber which is a small abstraction layer over docker files and it's going to help us safely get your changes out through the new deployment pipeline through kubernetes but in a safe and sane manner so if you're interested in that or any underlying tools such as media wiki extension dependency installation or anything like that we'd love to talk to you, thanks wow that's a lot of projects that's really great, remember that Nick took notes so you don't have to have the perfect memory to understand these things your 5 minutes or less away from your freedom this is the last listening to do so two things that I forgot to mention earlier just please if you're hosting a session keep it to 55 minutes to give people time to get ready for the next session or move to the next session we have a telegram channel if you don't know what it is find someone and they can help you get on it and IRC is WM hack you can ask any technical questions or questions that you need help with if you don't want to ask a person in person if you have not registered yet it will be happening at the hacking venue you can do that there and like I said you can get your no photos landed if you want one this is the last time that we're all going to be together before the closing at the closing we have a hackathon showcase the showcase is where people do very quick lightning talks about what they learned and did here prepare yourself for that we don't want to hear from everybody but we have a limited number of spots so we're trying to just do projects that are completed Nick is helping to organize that along with Sebrind and myself so talk to us if you have questions about that we also have a new thing this year Adam Schoelen had the nice idea of if you're shy and you don't want to or whatever reason you don't want to present in front of an audience we will have people who can help present your project for you if you want everyone to hear about it that's great I know I said this before but I want to say it again please remember this event was organized for you by volunteers so make sure to find those volunteers and thank them because it was a huge amount of work for them most of them are not here to hear your clapping because they are getting ready for you at the venue which is where we are going now so you have some time we built into the schedule to hang out talk to each other meet each other explore the hackathon venue at one o'clock we'll have an early lunch because that's early for here the venue is about 10 minutes walking in this direction it should be on your map you can follow people there's also buses this is the end of the opening thank you for sitting through the formality of everything that we have to say thank you again
