== Wikimania evaluation ==

I am curious, how is Program Evaluation planning to instrument Wikimania and evaluate Wikimania this year? Also, will Program Evaluation provide a guide to Wikimania participants about how to maximize the "impact" of their participation? Some informal discussion about how to get value out of the Wikimania hackathon has already happened on the tech mailing list.

:Hello Pine. Somehow missed this question. We have been working with the organizers of this year's Wikimania to develop an exit survey similar to that which was done following the Wikimedia Conference in Berlin (View their very recent reporting and link to survey data [[Wikimedia_Conference_2014/Feedback_evaluation|here]]). Similarly, the Wikimania survey targets goals of learning, networking and collaboration and will include measurement of the conference content overall; the organization and logistics of the conference; evaluation of the themes and their related content presented in terms of usefulness; participant networking and collaboration; overall learning outcomes; participant satisfaction and basic background demographics. The items are currently under final review and comment with a number of current, past, and future Wikimania planning stakeholders. This survey will also link to an optional set of items to assess survey-based outcomes for hackathon participants as well. While also still in the planning stage with the planning team, those items will likely include measurement of perceptions about the structure of hackathon days and projects, opportunities for mentoring, guidance, and collaboration and the usefulness and outcomes and/or potential outcomes of those opportunities. In addition to this exit survey, Ed Saperia is arranging for participation counts to be taken at each of the sessions and pushing to have people share lessons learned and hot conversations via twitter to the conference hashtag for potential content analysis.

::Thanks [[User:JAnstee (WMF)]]. This is good to hear. Will you also be evaluating the online impact of Wikimania particularly as it relates to active editor statistics and editor diversity? Also, would you be willing to adapt or create a survey to evaluate the Research Hackathon next week? If you can draft a survey I can review it with the other event organizers. It may be possible for us to simply adapt the dev hackathon survey for the Research Hackathon.
