Join us for a day of 👩🏼‍💻 hacking, 🥨 snacking, 🍕 pizza, and 🗣 catching up in person. * '''When?''' Saturday, October 24, 2026, from around 10:30 CEST until around 21:00 CEST. * '''Where?''' KB nationale bibliotheek (KB national library), Prins Willem-Alexanderhof 5, 2595 BE '''Den Haag''', the Netherlands ([https://osm.org/go/0E4DDpr24?node=2702849058 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 * '''[https://s.42l.fr/minihack26register 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. == Program == [[Bestand:Wmnl-hackathon-2026-goat-only.jpg|miniatuur|Pizza will be provided!]] {| class="wikitable" |+ | colspan="2" |'''Friday, October 23 (Optional community event).
