Fostering an Inclusive Environment

The Code of Conduct for Wikimedia's Technical Spaces and Friendly Space Policy, will be actively enforced across all facets of the event. This includes various platforms, discussion channels, and local meetups. Your adherence to these guidelines ensures a respectful and inclusive environment for all participants.

Engage in Conversations

Discover the following channels designed for connecting with fellow participants. While some may be more or less active throughout the year, they offer valuable opportunities for discussions and networking.

• Wikimedia Hackathon Telegram group
• Libera Chat IRC chat channel: #wikimedia-hackathon ^connect (the IRC and Telegram channels are bridged together so you only need to be in one)
• Talk page on MediaWiki.org
• The hashtag #wmhack on Mastodon/the fediverse, Twitter, and other social media.
