We want to attract local developers at the Wikimania-Hackathon-2015. Let's see how we need to plan this.
There was not much outreach to local tech communities done at the end. Thanks to a bit of organization close to the event, an introductory session in Spanish was included in the schedule: T105602: Spanish track: Introducción a las tecnologías del movimiento Wikimedia. Un espacio para los novatos y sus compañeros de hackeo. / Introduction to Wikimedia Tech for newcomers and their buddies

Hi @Omar_sansi have you made any progress on this task? I would love to hear any updates you have!
Hi @Rfarrand , I already sent you a proposal for participation. But better, could we have a meeting to cross ideas?
Hi @Omar_sansi, I'm helping preparing the schedule of the hackathon and I can be your main contact for organizing these sessions. Being local activities in Spanish, I expect most of the communication to organize them to be happening in Spanish, so I can get involved there directly via email etc. Please send me the proposal you sent to Rachel (or post it here, as you prefer) and we can continue trabajando a partir de ahí. :)
@Omar_sansi: I assume this task could be closed now as Wikimania is over?
Still a summary what took place would still be welcome here (e.g. I'm aware of T105602: Spanish track: Introducción a las tecnologías del movimiento Wikimedia. Un espacio para los novatos y sus compañeros de hackeo. / Introduction to Wikimedia Tech for newcomers and their buddies).
I think it is simpler to just close the task. If there would have been another activity, we would have probably known by now. I will edit the description.
