Community consultation on Wikimedia HackathonWe'd like to invite you to participate in a community consultation about the future of the Wikimedia Hackathon. For more than a decade, the Wikimedia Hackathon has brought technical contributors from around the world together to collaborate, learn, and build connections. While this annual global event has been successful in supporting our technical community, we want to explore whether a different model could make these opportunities more accessible and help strengthen technical communities in different regions. We're proposing a model that combines a global Wikimedia Hackathon every three years with regional hackathons in the intervening years. Read the proposal and share your feedback through the Talk Page before November 6th: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon/Community_Proposal_2026 All feedback is welcome and we look forward to hearing your thoughts!

There will be two Wikimedia Café discussion opportunities in October. In a change from the usual Café practice, this month's sessions will have different topics. Anyone who meets the Café attendance criteria is welcome to attend either or both sessions. Session A will happen on Saturday, 24 October 2026 at 15:00 UTC (timestamp converter), at a time friendly to the Americas, Africa, and Europe. This session will feature Wikimedia Foundation lawyer Phil Bradley-Schmieg. We will discuss legal issues on Wikimedia Commons, including complexities of international law. (I am hoping that in a future month, a similar Café session will be offered at a time friendly to Asia and the Pacific.) Session B will happen on Sunday, 25 October 2026 at 03:00 UTC (timestamp converter), at a time friendly to Asia and the Pacific, we will discuss proposed changes to how Wikimedia Foundation Board candidates are selected. The latest proposals are much different from the earlier July 2026 proposals. The due date for feedback on current proposals is 27 October, and Wikimedians are welcome to participate on the proposal talk page regardless of Café attendance.

November 2026 Wikimedia Café: the Newcomer homepage & Home experienceThe Wikimedia Foundation's Contributor teams are migrating the Newcomer homepage to a new experience called Home. This page will evolve with users, introducing them to new personalized opportunities based on their interests, and helping them develop into experienced contributors. In November 21–22 sessions of the Wikimedia Café, Kirsten Stoller (senior product manager, Growth) and Sam Walton (senior product manager, Moderator Tools) will share an overview of this feature, plans for its future, and demos of interactive prototypes which we can explore together. A quote which I hope will inspire your attendance or at least good wishes, from Grace Hopper: "The most important thing I've accomplished, other than building the compiler, is training young people. They come to me, you know, and say, 'Do you think we can do this?' I say, 'Try it.' And I back 'em up. They need that. I keep track of them as they get older and I stir 'em up at intervals so they don't forget to take chances." This month's schedule:
Please see the Café page for more information, including how to register! Attendees of the Café are encouraged to bring a favorite beverage. (In the eternal words of Captain Picard, "Tea, Earl Grey, hot.") To subscribe or unsubscribe for Café notices on your talk page please go here.
