editPreparation
editOrganising hackathon required lot of preparation. Multiple things need to taken care by organiser but having 2 years of prior experience of organising Wikipedia hackathon and having good community and volunteer support made our task easy.
It was proposed to accommodate students in the Hackathon so the prior training of these participants were needed. Pre-hackathon Event was organized to make participant more aware about Wikimedia tools, api and technologies
- Pre-hackathon event (May 30, 2016 )
| Speakers: | Rahmanuddin Shaik (CIS A2K Bangalore) |
| Abhinav Garule (CIS A2K Pune) | |

The event
edit- Having good infrastructure of Indian institute of Bombay. We used hall for the event with seating capacity over 150. Opening ceremony, demonstration session, feedback session and closing ceremony were conducted in this hall.
- We also used foyer where Hackathon seating arrangements were made.
- Conference management software was set for registration desk.
- Every participant was given barcode printed ID card.
- Multiple cameras with mixer was deployed for the video recording of the event.
- At the end of the event feedback form were collected from students.
- Gala dinner was arranged.
Lessons learned
edit- What worked well?
- The combination of different level of expertise in group formation worked well.
Groups were formed with 1 mentor+1 group leader+ 3 senior Wikipedians + 2 students. This leads to showcase 100% (Proof of concept) project.
- Pre-hackathon and sprints to train the student was beneficial.
- Using barcode and software for registration helped keep track of participation.
- Local volunteers and Marathi community support.
- What didn't work?
- Heavy rain on the event day caused inconvenience to commute.
- Due to one day Hackathon participants has to work under tight time line.
- What would you do differently if you planned a similar project?
- In future two days Hackathon can be organized for getting more outcomes.

- Goal for this event is specified on our PEG Request.
- Did you achieve your project goal? How do you know your goal was achieved? Please answer in 1 - 2 short paragraphs.
- As the objective specified in the GRANT proposal page our main goal was to develop tools required to Marathi Wikipedia community, for porting the Marathi language encyclopedia to Marathi Wikipedia. We are glad to inform that during this Hackathon we have developed three solutions which will help to make content porting easy. Out of 6 projects showcased 3 were related to Marathi language encyclopedia and Marathi wiki porting work.
