Hi all
after some discussion, Wikimedia Germany decided not to hold a developer's meet-up around the Chapter's conference in March. We just couldn't fit this in nicely with the venue and the overall organization. Don't despair though:
This is what we will do instead:
* There will be a hackathon hosted by Wikimedia Germany in (late) May, probably in Berlin, but that's not decided yet. This will mostly about hacking, with a strong focus on GLAM related stuff. There will be little in terms of presentations.
* There will be the hacking days attached to Wikimania in Haifa, August 3./4. I'm in charge of setting up the program for that, and I'll try to make it a nice mix of discussing technology and actually hacking. I would also like to have a get-together with thechies and chapter folks at some point during Wikimania.
I hope that this way, we can give the hacking events the attention they deserve. Let me know what you think.

Correction: Haifa Hacking Days are to be held August 2nd-3rd. Wikimania itself will be Aug 4th-6th.
Cheers,
Asaf

Hmm that would quite suck for me. Will it be during the weekend or during work days?
