[17:44:11] Hello everyone ! [17:44:12] For the Wikimania technical event, the team is preparing many things and is thinking about what its name should be bottomline: (keep "hackathon" or something new). [17:44:13] Here is the form : https://framaforms.org/help-us-to-choose-a-new-wikimania-technical-event-name-1758282020 could you take 5 minutes to look and answer it? [17:49:52] I get a slight hunch that the survey designer like the name Innovathon :) (re @NicolasVIGNERON: Hello everyone ! [17:49:52] For the Wikimania technical event, the team is preparing many things and is thinking about what its name shoul...) [17:51:38] we're still very open but yes, this is a name we like ;) (re @Jan_ainali: I get a slight hunch that the survey designer like the name Innovathon :)) [18:04:26] and more importantly, we like the idea and reasons behind the name [18:09:22] What are the idea and the reasons behind it? (re @NicolasVIGNERON: and more importantly, we like the idea and reasons behind the name) [18:13:30] it's on the forms : [18:13:30] Why this change ? [18:13:31] Differentiate from Wikimedia Hackathon [18:13:33] Be more inclusive and welcome new profiles [18:13:34] Promote collaboration [18:13:36] Attract new people to new challenges [18:13:37] Be a festive, collaborative and inclusive event (re @Jan_ainali: What are the idea and the reasons behind it?) [18:16:18] “Give us your answer or suggestion before 2026-10-31 !” wow, such a long time period ;) [19:59:13] I also don’t really understand the purpose of the different options, to be honest… like, would “Innovathon, like a Hackathon but more” be the new name, printed in full on the schedule and everything? seems like a mouthful [19:59:52] or are the different phrases after “Innovathon” more like… alternate ways to frame the event? [20:36:34] What are those "new challenges"? Has "hack" become a non-inclusive, burned subculture word and the only other word in English is "innovate" which may blurry communicating that at the end of the day it's an event about code? I'm both surprised and curious. (re @NicolasVIGNERON: it's on the form: [20:36:36] Why this change ? [20:36:37] Differentiate from Wikimedia Hackathon [20:36:39] Be more inclusive and welcome new profiles [20:36:40] ...) [20:45:10] not exhaustive and among other ideas (and things done before but forgotten or made invisible) : testing, design, documentation, translation (everything around tools but doable by non-tech people) (re @malyacko: What are those "new challenges"? Has "hack" become a non-inclusive, burned subculture word and the only other word in English is...) [20:52:21] so no, it's not just "about code" [20:52:21] code is still important of course, but it's not just that, it has always been more than that [20:55:17] for now, it's just options, how (and if) it will be used is still to be decided [20:55:18] the team is curious to have your opinion, hence the "suggestions" fields (re @lucaswerkmeister: I also don’t really understand the purpose of the different options, to be honest… like, would “Innovathon, like a Hackathon but...) [20:58:39] Hmm. I guess my point is that "innovation" has zero reference to IT. Let's see what the suggestions bring. [21:01:00] It may be one of the underlying question: what is important in a tool? The code/dev/IT or the use/people/impact (re @malyacko: Hmm. I guess my point is that "innovation" has zero reference to IT. Let's see what the suggestions bring.) [21:13:41] Sure, there is no use/people/impact of a tool without any code written...
