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.
