(sending to main tech lists, crossposted to Tech Blog[0], feel free to forward anywhere else you'd like) Greetings MediaWiki hackers! I am pleased to announce the upcoming MediaWiki Hack-A-Ton in Washington, DC. As you are all aware, every year in April our good friends at Wikimedia Deutschland host the annual "MediaWiki Developers Meetup" in Berlin. At that event, the program is focused on demonstrations, workshops and small group discussions. To complement this, we're planning the DC meetup to be focused solely on hacking, bugfixing and getting down and dirty with the code. We're scheduling this for October 22nd-24th in Washington, DC. Some of the details haven't been ironed out yet, but will be announced over the coming days as it is. So clear your calendars, and keep your eyes on MediaWiki.org[1] and the mailing lists for more information. Some travel assistance may be available for those coming a long way. I've also been told there will be swag of some sort for attendees :) -Chad [0] http://techblog.wikimedia.org/2010/09/hack-a-ton-dc/ [1] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Hack-A-Ton_DC
