=== Stated goals === |
|||
OpenHatch will, among other tasks: |
|||
* Develop novice-focused curricula that include tutorials for novices |
|||
* Design at least three project-based exercises for novices, based on the model OpenHatch created with its Python and open source workshops |
|||
* Review existing public reference and tutorial material on the topics |
|||
* Update or write relevant instructional documentation on mediawiki.org, including writing high-quality setup instructions for a new developer's development environment |
|||
* Find on-the-ground volunteers to help address problems that newcomers will face |
|||
* Disseminate lessons learned to the Wikimedia community |
|||
=== Further thoughts === |
|||
Questions to answer: |
|||
* What is our goal for our involvement hackathon's goals? |
|||
* My goals focus on encouraging attendees who are new to these projects to get experiences that lead them to make code and other FLOSS project contributions after the event. |
|||

|||
Things to learn about: |
|||

|||
* How do people register for the hackathon? |
|||
** ''seems'' like they register for the main conference, and check the box for July 09 and 10 as "Developer days" |
|||
** who/how-many have done this? |
|||
Outreach: |
|||

|||
* At least 20 total attendees |
|||
* Preferably 33%+ attendance by women |
|||
Groups to notify: |
|||

** Submitted |
|||
* Lydia Pintscher blog post |
|||
Other things to do: |
|||
* Add "Important dates+times" to the event page |
|||
== Berlin hackathon thoughts == |
|||
* Which projects will be looking for new contributors? |
|||
** pywikipedia bot + English Wikipedia Unblock Ticket Response System especially; Kiwix as well |
|||
** Find the maintainers of both; work to help those contributors organize their documentation and set up their lists of tasks to do/bugs to fix at the hackathon |
|||
** Look for and try to help address technical/social infrastructure problems with those projects |
|||
** Try to maybe create a minimal-tech version of http://linuxgrrl.com/fedora-ux/Projects/OpenHatch%20Reading%20Lists/mentor-page.png + http://linuxgrrl.com/fedora-ux/Projects/OpenHatch%20Reading%20Lists/reading-list.png for this event |
|||
* What is the required knowledge for new contributors? |
|||
** For each such thing, where's the hackathon-official doc for that? |
|||
** Who will be on the ground helping? |
|||
* Where is the list of entry-level tasks for those projects? |
|||
* Who will take the time to talk to people about their background and identify good first bugs? |
|||
* Ensuring that there are high-quality laptop setup instructions, preferably cross-platform, for the tech tools required for these projects, e.g. pywikipediabot |
|||
* Ensuring the schedule has time for laptop setup and that we find on-the-ground volunteers to help address development environment problems newcomers will face. |
|||
* What problems did people face in previous times? |
|||
** Is there a list of past attendees who we can ask an exit survey? A year later is late, but better late than never |
|||
Essential links: |
