I'd like to invite you and other Wikimedia enthusiasts to a Wikimedia technical event in Pune, 10-12 February 2012. Registration link & other info:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Pune_Hackathon_Feb_2012
A Wikimedia hackathon is a chance to learn how to develop using MediaWiki, Phonegap, and our other technologies, and to work alongside experts. Software engineers, designers, and translators are welcome. We'll be focusing on internationalisation and localisation, mobile Wikipedia access, and the JavaScript-based gadgets framework.
If you're interested, please consider coming and learning a bit about Wikipedia's technical infrastructure, and perhaps starting to improve it.
I'd also appreciate any publicity you can give this event so we can reach out to the Indian technical community. Thanks!
