We will host another Wikimeda Hackathon in 2017. We need to select a host.
In advance of putting the call out for hosts we need to integrate feedback from last year and define a clear process for selection. I will use this task to track subtasks and report on progress towards this effort.
As of Jan 20 we are well into the process of defining the process. I hope to be able to send out the call for hosts in early Feb, 2016.
