A friend of mine is co-organizing a conference about APIs. She asked me
if there is someone from Wikimedia or the community who would be
interested in participating. It will take place in Parc 55 Hotel in San
Francisco on October 23, 24, 25. A bit of information about the conference:

They'd like us to:

- talk about how much traffic we deal with, how do we do it, who uses
our API (or something similar that we think would be of general interest),
- participate in the "APIs in Government - Towards a Data Commons" panel
giving the perspective of a non-profit (they aim to have federal, state,
education, international, and non-profit representation in this panel).

Seems interesting. Is there anyone who'd be interested in giving a talk
or participating in a panel there?
