(T424367) Contact: User:Krabina (talk) Notes: Etherpad	Unconference session: One Portal to Rule Them All: The Unified Developer Front-Door (T423363) Contact: Halley Coplin (WMF) Notes: Come hear about our vision and motivations for creating a unified developer portal experience that brings our APIs and developer documentation together in a central location. The new front-door aims to offer a developer home base with consolidated reference docs, API etiquette guidelines, and guided onboarding. This session will also dip into the bigger picture, with broader discussions on how we might build and support a thriving developer community, improve first experiences, and make it easier for curious newcomers to become confident contributors. This work is a direct response to what you've been telling us in listening tours and the developer satisfaction survey, so come see how your feedback is starting to take shape, and keep your input coming!

Each participant will share: their name, what moves them (their passion), one barrier that has prevented them from accessing or staying in Wikimedia technical spaces, and one thing that lowered that barrier. A volunteer will take live notes projected on screen so everyone can see and correct them. We will then use a retroboard (or similar voting tool) to vote on the most significant barriers and enablers, merge similar items with the consent of the original sharer, and prioritize. If time allows, we will start drafting a public Diff post (a guide similar to NumFOCUS's unconference visa guide). Our guide will be titled something like: "Welcoming Women+ into Wikimedia Tech: A Guide Based on Lived Experience." If time is tight (hopefully because many of you want to participate!), facilitators will produce a first draft after the session and share it with all participants in this thread. Notes: Etherpad	Unconference session: Wikimedia and the Social Web Contact: User:EvanProdromou Summary: The social web is a movement to implement federated social networks with open standards. How can Wikimedia projects encourage this effort? Benefit from it? Notes: Etherpad

11:15–12:15		Unconference session: Tools That (Don’t) Break: A Toolforge Reliability Wishlist (T424354) Contact: Arthur Puthin Summary: This session aims to provide an open space for discussion around the reliability of Tools hosted on Toolforge, and what can be done on a platform level to improve the experience for maintainers. The WMF Developer Experience team is inviting new and experienced Toolforge users to contribute their view by sharing their own vision for what reliability should look like for Tools, so we can refine our understanding of how the platform can provide visibility into issues and enable maintainers to keep their tools running with confidence by providing improved monitoring and observability features. Notes: Etherpad	Unconference session: API Glow Up: Shaping the Next Generation of Wikimedia APIs (T423361) Contact: Halley Coplin (WMF) Summary: Have you ever stared at our API docs and thought, "why are there four ways to do this and none of them really feel right?" Well you aren't alone, because we've asked the same thing and plan to start doing something about it! Come to this session to learn more about what we have in mind for taming the REST chaos, introducing structure to next generation Action endpoints (without breaking the current state), and how we might make our APIs more approachable for new users.

You can use the Phabricator templates here to propose a project or sign up as a participant looking for a project

Propose a session, workshop, or project

• Proposed Projects - Hands-on skill development workshops on topics around the technology stack of Wikimedia projects.
• Proposed Unconference Sessions - Sessions or workshops covering any of the Wikimedia technical areas.

For any of the items listed above, use the proposal template. Also, indicate in the task description if your proposed activity is newcomer-friendly.

Get the word out

• Add your name and interests - including things you can teach and things you want to learn about - to our participants page.
• Email the organizers with any questions, we can help!

Sign up as a participant

If you want to work on something but you're not sure what, use the participant template to let others know that you are looking for a project.

If you're interested in a specific unconference session, you can indicate your interest by subscribing to the task.

You can also add yourself to the Volunteer sign-ups column if you would like to help with small tasks involved with running the Hackathon.

Here are some tips:

• We have a Hackathon themed slide deck with best practices and more; please make a copy and add the information for your session.
• You can propose sessions as presentations, workshops, discussions, or any other format that suits your requirements.
  • Feel free to host language- or community-specific sessions and/or meetups.
• Session focus should be less on beginner-level workshops (unlike in some previous Hackathons), as this event brings together individuals who have already contributed to technical aspects of the Wikimedia projects.
• If there isn't a dedicated space for your session, be prepared to run your session without a projector at a specific hackathon table in a quiet corner of one of the bigger rooms, in the foyer, or outside.
• You are welcome to reach out to the event organizers to seek help to prepare, get feedback on your presentation, or any training support you might need a few weeks before the hackathon event.

• What: Swing Dance
  • Meeting point: Spirit de Milan, Via Bovisasca, 59, 20157 Milano MI
  • Meeting time: Bicycle over from hotel at 21:30; live band starts at 22:30
  • Duration: 3hr
  • Itinerary: Let's check out Milan's local swing dance! The band "Lu Cicchitelli & The Associates" will be playing jazz music of the American big bands of the 1930s/1940s at Spirit de Milan's "Holy Swing Night". There does not appear to be any newcomer lesson, so either prior social dance experience or an adventerous spirit is recommended. €15.
