Very awesome that no travel is required!  I'm not a hardcore mediawiki contributor but would like to be more involved, can work on mapping and data capabilites, or on aspects of core code (If you want help with something)

Of course all developers are welcome! We're going to be tracking bugs for that weekend using a new keyword in Bugzilla called "bugsmash."

(That's also a general invitation for people to start targeting some items for the Hack-A-Ton)

What help do you need from local DC wikipedians?  Although we are not yet a chapter, we could perhaps help with getting a venue (though danese probably can handle it too) or other ways of helping organize.

I should've reached out to you guys a few weeks ago ;-) The venue is almost settled--hopefully will have an information to share about that this evening. I might need a hand the day before (I will be driving up the 21st) to help me get things organized and ready for everyone's arrival on the 22nd.
