October 2020
16th October - Jose Labra - Shapes applications and tools
9th October - Daniel Fernández - Wikidata hackathon
Dani makes a brief introduction about Wikidata, Commons, Wikibase, and how these projects are related and integrated in the Wikimedia’s ecosystem. Then, he introduces the idea of organizing a hackathon to produce apps which use the data available in Wikidata and Commons. This is a first meeting to discuss several dimensions of this project: targte public, which external external organizations may have interest in participating, scope of the hackathon, dates, people within WESO interested this initiative… some conclussions arise:
- Dani will be the person leading the organization of this initiative.
- The target participants will be essentially composed by technical profiles, althaugh we do not discard to invite or involve people with non-technical profiles from different knowledge areas.
- There is an obvious need of involving external organizations (at least the EII) and invest time producin an efficient marketing to reach our target public.
- We want to keep a collaborative spirit for the event, but also to be able to give some kind of reward to the best proposal(s).
- We start a separate channel within WESO to keep developing this idea.
