The strike was more anecdotal than anything. It was a partial and regulated strike with minimum services, nothing really special. I'm sure a good % of attendees wouldn't have noticed anything if thy would have not received the email about it. Therefore, I'm for the options that don't mention the strike.

Hey all,

We just published "Developers gather in France for the 2015 Wikimedia Hackathon" to the blog. URL:

Many thanks to Jean-Philippe for writing the original story, Fabrice for translating, as well as to Quim for editing. 

Below are some proposed social media messages. Please tweak as needed.

• Lyon might have been on strike, but Wikimedia Hackathon attendees weren’t: [link]
• What happens when over 200 people code for a weekend? [link]

Facebook/Google+:

• Wikimedia France held the annual Wikimedia Hackathon in Lyon in May. Find out how things unfolded over the weekend [link]
• Lyon’s public transport might have been on strike, but these avid coders weren’t. [link]

thanks,
Joe
