Mini Hackathon October 2026
Wikimedia Nederland again welcomes around 30 international participants to the fifth one-day Mini Wikimedia Hackathon on Saturday, October 24, 2026.
Join us for a day of đ©đŒâđ» hacking, đ„š snacking, đ pizza, and đŁ catching up in person.
- When? Saturday, October 24, 2026, from around 10:30 CEST until around 21:00 CEST.
- Where? KB nationale bibliotheek, Prins Willem-Alexanderhof 5, 2595 BE Den Haag, the Netherlands (OpenStreetMap)
- Remote participation possible? No. This is an in-person event.
- For whom? For seasoned, Dutch and international Wikimedians who want to hang out and hack together! The venue supports a maximum of 30 participants.
- Language? English
- Apply by filling in the registration form.
Important notes:
- This is a hackathon for technically-focused, already experienced Wikimedians. There will be no mentorship program for newcomers; we expect all participants to be able to work rather autonomously, although we do of course encourage and applaud group projects! The regular international Wikimedia hackathons do offer participation and mentorship for newcomers - check those if you are interested in that!
- International participants are very welcome. Travel and hotel costs are not covered or arranged by the organizers or Wikimedia Nederland. In other words: you will have to book, arrange and pay for your own travel and hotel.
