Hi everyone,

In September 2017 (15.09-17.09), one of the largest hackathons in Europe will take place in Zurich, Switzerland. The event is called HackZurich http://digitalfestival.ch/en/HACK/ and it is organized together with the Digital Festival 2017 http://digitalfestival.ch/en.

It is a great opportunity to make open data enthusiasts and hackers in general aware of Wikidata, and we would also like to team up with other Wikidata developers to *participate at HackZurich*.

One day before HackZurich, on Thu 14.09 we will be *organising a Wikidata workshop* at the University of Zurich, where we would like to offer information and training about Wikidata.

All the information about both the Wikidata workshop and the participation at HackZurich can be found at the event's page:

*Important*: the registration for HackZurich opens on Friday 09.06. The workshop also requires registration https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd2srUW6LjdnkpmDUKz-SkE20kGxGImX8Zn-rbD9Ob5QVnv2Q/viewform .

If you would like to help out in the workshop or/and participate in the hackathon, please register in each of the events and let us know in the Talk page:

Thanks! Cristina Sarasua and Leon Kastler
