I've asked Adam Hyland, a Boston wikipedian who works at the swank software-house Bocoup, if they might have space we could use in their demesne that week.

You would also all be welcome at the Berkman Center - I could find a room for us all in the new Wasserstein building at Harvard -- more academic, less startup-culture. (more people hacking on annotation :-)

Either way, I'd be glad to spend those weekdays in a shared space. And other Wikimedians would be welcome to come by and spend time with us.

Warmly, SJ

I hack on mediawiki for WMF. Mark Holmquist, another WMF hacker, is going to be visiting Boston roughly Aug. 16 - Aug 21. There are other WMF folk scattered around here, along with lots of volunteers. Is anyone up for a meetup/hackday? Mark and I would like to play with hooking up Mozilla's Tow Truck (https://towtruck.mozillalabs.com/) in order to allow real-time collaboration in a wiki context. (Editing? TeaHouse? Talk pages? something like that.) Maybe other people have their own hacking projects where it would be useful to be nearby and pick our brains? --scott

Looks like we're set to do some coworking at http://loft.bocoup.com ("355 Congress Street, a 5 minute walk from South Station") on Monday Aug 19 through Wed Aug 21.

Let me know if: a) you have a particular project and particular time you'd like to work with others on that project b) you'd like to hang out with WMF folks and have a particular time you'd like to do so ;) c) you'd like to organize something on Saturday Aug 17 at the bocoup space.

Otherwise I expect I'll be @ bocoup roughly 10:30am - 5:30pm on those three days. Come and be social, and maybe something serendipitous will happen! --scott
