Hi everyone,
Wikimedia Nederland invites all developers to the Amsterdam Hackathon 2013.
The hackathon is an opportunity for all Wikimedia community developers
and sysadmins to come together, squash bugs and write great new features
& tools. Unlike the previous years (2012, 2011, etc.) this Hackathon
won't be in Berlin, but in Amsterdam.
The event is open to a wide range of developers. We welcome both
seasoned and new developers as well as people working on MediaWiki,
tools, pywikiedia, gadgets, extensions, templates … .
It takes place from 24-26 May. If you’d like to attend, please save the
date!
There will not be an entrance fee for the event itself, but a
registration is mandatory. There will be a limited number of
scholarships available, details to be provided ASAP. We're currently
finalizing the arrangements of the venue. When we're done with that
we'll open registration.
Keep an eye on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Amsterdam_Hackathon_2013
for updates!

Ps. Please spread the word
Apparently all of pywiki scripts used the same user agent header -
Pywikipediabot/1.0, which made it difficult for Wikipedia et al to identify
which script used or abused which API features, as well as impossible to
contact the author of said script to fix it.
I have recently merged a patch from Ori (WMF dev) to both the main and the
rewrite branches. PLEASE UPDATE your pywikipedia code from SVN to
automatically start using the new user agent, which will now include the
name of the startup script and possibly SVN revision (we might want to
switch to a hash-of-main-file based number instead at a later time).
On a separate note, if you are interested in the future of MediaWiki APIv2,
take a look at the
RFC<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/API_Future>,
and submit your own thoughts on what you might need for your scripts from
the next version of the API, or email me directly.
