I am glad that the Wikimedia Foundation was able to help out and that I got to meet so many interesting people at the hackathon. If I am reading your question right, you are interested in future hackathons and other technical events? We are tentatively planning to run a hackathon in February in Pune, alongside GNUnify http://gnunify.in/ (GNUnify is 10-11 Feb), but I do not know details about that yet. And please keep an eye on this page: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_developer_meetings and these feeds: https://twitter.com/MediaWikiMeet https://identi.ca/mediawikimeet which tell you about upcoming meetings in physical and virtual space. You asked about catching up, for those who missed the Mumbai hackathon. We did not record any of the sessions of the hackathon (I'm sorry), but the Technical Liaisons and Developer Relations group is working on improving our documentation on mediawiki.org, starting with these recordings and materials: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Volunteer_coordination_and_outreach/Training… You might also be interested in some of the recent presentations we've given: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/view/Presentations And Erik added a lot of links to his online notes from his plenary session: https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=India_Hackathon_2011/Schedule_n… If there is anything specific that you're eager to learn more about, please let us know by asking in our group chat channel http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#mediawiki -- that's the fastest way to get pointers to more information! And if you'd like for more hackathons and other technical events to happen in your area, I can try to help. And of course you can set up an event on your own as well! Thanks. -- Sumana Harihareswara Volunteer Development Coordinator Wikimedia Foundation
