Kiwix Hackathon post Wikimania 2017. http://wiki.kiwix.org/wiki/Hackathon_Wikimania_2017
Participant connections
editThere were 25-30 participants to the hackathon, including people from various paths in life since the goal of its organizers was to get together engineers as well as UX designers, content matter experts as well as experienced open access publishers on offline topics .
Outcome
edit- I presented m:WikiFundi to the group : https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WikiFundi_at_Hackathon.pdf
- videos of the events were made, I was recorded in both French and English (and appears to have been the most talkative ;)): [1]
- an article has been published on opensource.com : https://opensource.com/article/17/9/wikifundi-leader-florence-devouard
- inclusion of Wikifundi in other offline environments was discussed and is likely to be implemented
- I met developers willing to help with WikiFundi development
It was a useful meeting and I am very happy I could join it. What I specifically appreciated was... the mix of people, particularly fertile for connexions and brainstorming on future partnerships. It was well organized in a quiet end operational nvironment.
