[06:26:49] @Superraptor123 I'm thinking about a little unconference session about Wikibase Bootstrap, would you be interested? [07:43:23] I could finish the tool deployment. Thanks for the support! @jeremy_b @tehreedy [07:43:23] https://diff.wikimedia.org/2026/04/14/introducing-mediawiki-code2code-search-semantic-search-to-find-code-by-under-the-surface-similarity/ (re @jeremy_b: I guess maybe it used to match labswiki username before SUL) [09:19:41] @waldyrious https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/olea/wikibase-bootstrap/ [11:52:32] That's pretty cool, @IsmaelOlea! I would be interested 😃 (re @IsmaelOlea: @waldyrious https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/olea/wikibase-bootstrap/) [12:18:29] check this also: T423246 (re @waldyrious: That's pretty cool, @IsmaelOlea! I would be interested 😃) [12:58:04] Is this a typo, or will the session end after the lunch break? : https://tools-static.wmflabs.org/bridgebot/9c7f3ac3/file_79422.jpg [13:01:41] I guess it ends during the lunch break, which isn't necessarily a problem [13:01:53] people might head to lunch instead to that particular session [13:04:03] Or it might spread the group of people grabbing lunch at the same time a bit [13:17:45] hackathon and lunch simultaneously to be more efficient 😋 (re @val_cio: Is this a typo, or will the session end after the lunch break?) [13:26:07] Lunchathon? (re @Rafael: ) [13:26:21] Lunchathon? (re @ToprakM: hackathon and lunch simultaneously to be more efficient 😋) [14:04:45] Not a typo, as Sjoerd mentions below we're hoping to space out the lunch onslaught a bit while also maximizing the time available for sessions and hacking. [14:04:45] We promise there will still be food if you show up to lunch a bit later! (re @val_cio: Is this a typo, or will the session end after the lunch break?) [14:05:10] I live in America, we're all about efficiency ;) (re @Jan_ainali: Lunchathon?) [14:05:53] For us North Europeans, a 90 minute lunch certainly look like a marathon 😅 (re @BeeBee_P: I live in America, we're all about efficiency ;)) [14:33:18] putting the all into all you can eat [14:50:22] Sandwiches can be done in under 20 minutes, so back in seat within 30. (re @Jan_ainali: For us North Europeans, a 90 minute lunch certainly look like a marathon 😅) [21:29:48] Hi. I'm an academic working in computer vision. We have a search engine for media files (images, videos, and audio) and been using wikimedia commons as our test. For example, this is a public demo to search on wikimedia commons Media of the day https://meru.robots.ox.ac.uk/motd/ . I'm thinking of making it a mediawiki plugin. Would the wikimedia hackathon be the right place for me to work on this? [21:30:39] what do you mean plugin? (re @wmtelegram_bot: Hi. I'm an academic working in computer vision. We have a search engine for media files (images, videos, and audio)...) [21:31:37] you could do it first on toolforge. depending on size of code and other resources and depending on interest maybe it could be integrated more. or there's nothing wrong with staying on toolforge. [21:31:50] do you already have a ticket for the hackathon? [21:32:07] wm-bb: I guess I mean extension and not plugin [21:33:09] wm-bb: yes, I already hac a ticket. But I'm realising now the much knit-tight/small number of attendes and thinking if I'm registered for the wrong type of event [21:36:01] wm-bb: I hadn't looked at toolforge before. I've just had a look at it now and I didn't know this was thing. I was thinking more along the lines of an extension that could also be used by other mediawiki installations but wikimedia is the main case where this is useful because of the large size [21:39:28] if you write an extension it may never be deployed anywhere. if you set up a live service outside production like on toolforge then you can prove demand/interest before investing in an extension. [21:40:28] toolforge doesn't require the same security reviews as code running in Wikimedia production. [21:40:57] I guess a lot of hackathons have some kind of competition and maybe more of a focus on proof of concept/demo vs actual production code. [21:40:57] we have some competition but not as much as the typical "hackathon", we have some people working individually and some in groups, we have some working on demos and some actual production code. [21:42:07] the hackathon isn't just about coding. it's a place to meet and talk about stuff in person, some things are just easier when you're not remote. you could even use a whiteboard. [21:46:38] hmmm... yes, I see that. I'm mainly worried that for current level of involvement with wikimedia development (which is pretty close to zero) it may be too soon for me to join the event
