Hi All,
The folks at Internet Archive reached out to us to invite people from Wikimedia’s tech community to this years’ Aaron Swartz https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Swartz day and onsite/online hackathon on Nov 12-13. The hackathon takes place onsite at the Internet Archive in San Francisco, online or at self-organized satellite-meetups.
You can find all information here: https://www.aaronswartzday.org/
The organizers still welcome talks, workshops, or ideas for specific projects to work on - this could be a nice opportunity to connect with others, introduce folks to MediaWiki & Co, work & exchange on projects, or attend some of the talks (detailed schedule is not published yet - you can see the list of so-far-confirmed speakers here https://www.aaronswartzday.org/#speakers).
Admission is free, but you’ll need to register - please find all the info on their page. Also please feel free to share this info with anyone who might be interested.
Birgit
