Change Details

In this session, we will take a quick look at the technical areas in Wikimedia (e.g., extensions, gadgets, cloud services, apps, bots, etc.). I will share an example of a newcomer-friendly project related to each technical area for which we have a mentor or point of contact attending hackathon and willing to help you in getting started. If some of the projects in this session interest you, then during the mentor/newcomer session you which is right after this session, you could get in touch with a mentor directly to know more!
