Hi all
after some discussion, Wikimedia Germany decided not to hold a developer's meet-up around the Chapter's conference in March. We just couldn't fit this in nicely with the venue and the overall organization. Don't despair though:
This is what we will do instead:
* There will be a hackathon hosted by Wikimedia Germany in (late) May, probably in Berlin, but that's not decided yet. This will mostly about hacking, with a strong focus on GLAM related stuff. There will be little in terms of presentations.
* There will be the hacking days attached to Wikimania in Haifa, August 3./4. I'm in charge of setting up the program for that, and I'll try to make it a nice mix of discussing technology and actually hacking. I would also like to have a get-together with thechies and chapter folks at some point during Wikimania.
I hope that this way, we can give the hacking events the attention they deserve. Let me know what you think.

Late May? That's actually *really* awesome. Now I don't have to miss school to come :D

Hmm that would quite suck for me. Will it be during the weekend or during work days?

Not sure yet, but I'd prefer something weekendish - say, friday and saturday being the core days.

I will be able to attend this event wherever it is. Would it be possible to set the date as early as possible so we can arrange days off with our employers and get cheap flights? Is there any blog / rss feeds I can add to make sure I do not miss any information? ;)
I can not attend the august one.

We'll do our best.

the google calendar at http://tinyurl.com/wmde-events is probably the best bet
