A forward for technical and tech-curious people not subscribed to wikitech-l. If you have or want to join a hackathon plan for Lyon (May 23-25), we want to know. Important note: Wikimedia Hackathons are not only for developers, as good software development requires many other profiles, including insightful users.

Chapter people and other organized wikimedians, your help funding volunteer travel is welcome. Every year we are pooling more funds from more orgs, opening our hackathons to more volunteers from more places and areas of interest. Please send one volunteer or more to Lyon.
