June 26-29, a bunch of us will be in Portland, Oregon, USA for the Open Source Bridge conference.
http://opensourcebridge.org/events/2012/schedule
WMF is sponsoring the Friday unconference day, and will host a hacking table that day as well as (I hope) the Tuesday "Hacker Lounge Project/Community Night."
Wikimedians are giving several talks during OSBridge:
"Identity, Reputation and Gratitude: Designing for a community" by Brandon Harris: Tuesday, 1:30 "A snapshot of Open Source in West Africa" by Renaud Gaudin: Tuesday, 3:45 "Building A Visual Editor for Wikipedia" by Roan Kattouw and Trevor Parscal: Tuesday, 4:45 "Internationalization @Wikipedia: Helping add the next billion web users" by Alolita Sharma: Wednesday, 10am "Why you need to host 100 new wikis just for yourself." by Ward Cunningham: Wednesday, 2:30 "Outreach Events: My Triumphs, My Mistakes" by Asheesh Laroia and me: Thursday, 3:45
I give the opening keynote address on Tuesday morning. My tentative title: "Be Bold."
If you're in or near Portland and want to come, let me know; I might be able to hook you up with a free conference pass.
