Hi Ed!

We're going to push out a post on FB about the editathon shortly. Hopefully that will give you a few more signups - it's a pretty niche area, but a worthwhile one.

Two things that might be of interest:

Refugee Crisis Response "Techfugees"
I'm part of a volunteer effort to coordinate the international tech industry's response to the refugee crisis, dubbed "Techfugees". A large part of this has been trying to record of all the activity, match up NGOs with volunteers, and put together a library of useful research. I've been desperately throwing things into a system of hackpads, and could really use some help keeping it tidy - If you're looking for some real swashbuckling information management to do, look no further: bit.ly/techfugeeshackpad

Civic Tech Editathon
I'm hosting a small editathon about civic technology in London tomorrow evening. There's a handful of knowledgeable civic tech people coming, but it would be nice to have a few more Wikimedians:

If you want more info on either, feel free to email me directly.
