GLAM-WIKI 2013/Hackathon

This is the planning page for the hackathon that will take place during Sunday 14th April.

The hackathon is an opportunity for all Wikimedia community developers and GLAM developers from all over the place to come together, share their ideas and diverse expertise with each other, squash bugs and write cool new features. The agenda and session topics are being determined by attendees, on the day. Prepare for inspiring lightning talks, and getting as involved as possible.

Refreshments will be provided for.

I'm interested, what do I do?

1. Book your ticket for THATCamp London 2013 on Eventbrite (and for the GLAM-WIKI conference if you’d like to attend that too).
2. Also register here. This will give you a user account to create and share with other participants.
3. Start thinking about a session you’d like to facilitate. THATCamps are informal and participant-driven, everyone is encouraged to get involved in proposing sessions. Or perhaps you’d like to run a workshop or help facilitate the scheduling session on the morning of the unconference?
4. Spread the word! We’d keen to have as many people as possible involved, so please do let other people know.

When?

Between 11:00-16.30 on Sunday 14th April.

Where?

At a conference centre at the British Library!

Suggested Development Themes

• Work on the GLAMwiki toolset: Europeana's developing team will be present at the hackathon and they have a bunch of things they would like your help with!
• Open Data/Content/Communities: Mashups of Europeana metadata coming from UK providers, with Wikipedia/Wikimedia resources and content, data from OpenStreetMap, Projekt Gutenberg and other open data providers from the UK.
• Mobile, including Augmented Reality: Mobile services that are building on the Wikimedia and Europeana API, such as packaging and conceptualizations of content, mash-ups with check-in services, augmented reality overlays, support for mobile upload to Wikimedia that control/compare/connect the uploaded media to Europeana's metadata etc.
• Structured/semantic data: Building and exploiting structured/semantic data together with WikiData and Dbpedia.
