About the October 2023 office hours
In October 2023, we will be hosting two office hour sessions because we’re wrapping up the event registration project and we’re starting a new project: event discovery. For this reason, we want to demo the final product for event registration and collect feedback for the event discovery project.
In this office hour, you will be able to:
- Learn about the event registration tool, so you can use the tool in your events
- Watch a demo of the newest features of the event registration tool, which include:
- Integration with the Programs & Events Dashboard
- Organizer can email participants
- Participants can answer optional questions about themselves
- Share your ideas and opinions for our upcoming event discovery project
About the Campaigns team
The Campaigns team is a part of the Product & Technology department of the Wikimedia Foundation. As a team, we want to improve the experience of organizing and attending events, especially events that focus on contributing content to the wikis, such as edit-a-thons, writing contests, and photography contests. This way, it will be easier for people to organize or join events and make impactful contributions.
We are a software development team, so we create and improve technical solutions for people. Our most recent project is event registration, which provides organizers an on-wiki way to register participants and manage participant data. Our next project will be event discovery, which is in an early research phase.
