Session Details

Short description of the session (~150 words):

A brief introduction to the Toolhub project with a focus on the ways that Toolhub hopes to help tool maintainers publicize their work on bots, web services, user scripts, gadgets, complex templates, lua modules to other Wikimedians.

Target audience:

Technical volunteers who build tools to help with on-wiki work:

  • bots
  • web services
  • gadgets
  • complex templates
  • lua modules
  • user scripts
  • desktop/phone apps for collecting or curating content
  • ... things that are needed to make the work of the movement easier/higher quality/possible

What will participants get out of this session? (~50 words)

Folks should leave the session with a general understanding of what gaps Toolhub is hoping to fill for the movement, how to get information about their own tools into the catalog, and where to look for discussion of future features and how to get involved in the project.

Event Timeline

Hello @bd808 and thanks a lot for proposing this session!

We would love to schedule it on the main hackathon track on Saturday, 22nd of May at 15:30 in UTC. You would have 25min, questions and discussions included.

Does this timeslot work for you? We kindly ask you to confirm before May 17th, so we can complete the schedule.

As a speaker on the main track, we will send you a link to a BigBlueButton room where you will be able to present and share your screen. The content of your session will be live-streamed on a video platform and automatically recorded. Participants will not be able to talk to you directly, but they will leave comments in the chat. We will send you more details closer to the event. If you’d like to schedule a testing session to have a look at BigBlueButton, just let us know.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me. Thanks!

2021-05-22T15:30 will work just fine for me. That will make this session follow T282273: [Session] Where can I run this? An introduction to Wikimedia Cloud Services correct?

Thanks for the quick response! If Brooke will be fine with the schedule, yes your session will follow their "[Session] Where can I run this? An introduction to Wikimedia Cloud Services".

Hi @bd808 , we need to make some test with the sessions on main track before the event. Can you please send me your e-mail contact so that I can send you some invitations for this test? If you don't prefer to share it publicly, you can send it to tur.neslihan[at]gmail.com.

    • If there are specific follow-up tasks from this session / event: Please create dedicated tasks and add another active project tag to those tasks, so others can find those tasks (as likely nobody in the future will look back at Wikimedia-Hackathon-2021 tasks when trying to find something they are interested in).
