I am pleased to announce that Wikimedia DC is working with the Sunlight Foundation on hosting the first Open Government WikiHack, which will take place at the Sunlight Foundation offices in Washington, DC on April 5–6. The Open Government WikiHack is be a two-day hack-a-thon/edit-a-thon with the goal of using open government data, including the Sunlight Foundation APIs, to improve the Wikimedia projects. We encourage all people to participate—coders and non-coders, those with Wikipedia experience and those without.

The registration form is live: http://www.eventbrite.com/e/open-government-wikihack-tickets-10862424805
