Wikimania 2016 Hackathon Showcase
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

For the results of the Wikimedia Hackathon 2015 Showcase in Lyon, see T96378, for Wikimania 2015 in Mexico City, see T102034.

The Wikimania 2016 Hackathon Showcase will take place on the second day of Wikimania from 18:00-19:00 in the School, room 11. It will be run by @siebrand and @Rfarrand.

In the last afternoon of the hackthon at 15:00, there will be a 30 minute briefing session for showcase presenters led by Siebrand in the school, room 30.

Presenters can reserve a slot, first come, first served, in an etherpad: https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/T132719. Short URL: https://is.gd/wmshowcase16

Each presenter have 3 minutes of air time, including the time needed to switch computers where needed.

Methodology used: presenters line up and were briefed by Rachel. Siebrand does logistics on the stage. The introduction should be very short; around 30 seconds. Siebrand will keep time using an app on his phone and presenters are shown a 1 minute sign around that mark. Once the queue is done, people will be thanked and a question about hackathon attendees vs. non-attendees will asked.

If there is time left, we can invite the audience to participate in a retrospective.

Wikimania 2017 Hackathon Showcase?

Qgil renamed this task from Wikimania 2017 Hackathon Showcase to Wikimania 2016 Hackathon Showcase.Apr 15 2016, 1:47 PM

Obviously @Quiddity & I will be helping with this but I am changing the owner to Siebrand because he is!

Siebrand and I are still working through some of the details (including time and location) with Simone and the Esino Lario team. We should have resolution soon! :)

I've updated the description and set everything up. This will be communicated during the hackathon opening, and throughout the hackathon.

@Ainali - is there any chance we can do live streaming again? :)

@Ainali excellent! Thanks a lot! :)
@siebrand would you be able to communicate the live steam link out to folks on wikitech-l who might want to watch live?

Other news:
All the laptop connectors will be there, we WILL have mics, we will have two monitors set up for the audience to see. I don't know how many people will attend but it is possible to get really crowded.

Siebrand - lets meet there at 5:30?

The direct link to the stream will be generated when I start the broadcast. It will also popup on https://bambuser.com/channel/ainali and be automatically tweeted from https://twitter.com/Jan_Ainali with any choice of hashtags.

About 15 people that were present had no involvement with the hackathon, i.e. are assumed to have been non-hackers.

Excellent, thanks @Ainali! You saved the day. We had other recording as well - but they left in the middle of the showcase, so without yours we would have none.
