This is a reminder that you're invited to the pre-Wikimania hackathon, 10-11 July in Washington, DC, USA: https://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hackathon In order to come, you have to register for the Wikimania conference: https://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/Registration (Unfortunately, the period for requesting scholarships is now over.) At the hackathon, we'll have trainings and projects for novices, and we welcome creators of all Wikimedia technologies -- MediaWiki, gadgets, bots, mobile apps, you name it -- to hack on stuff together and teach each other. Hope to see you! -- Sumana Harihareswara Engineering Community Manager Wikimedia Foundation

I'm already registered for the conference, so this doesn't personally affect me, but why restrict it to those that registered for the conference? If any local DC hackers show up, because they heard from a friend that the hackathon was going on, would we really turn them away? Thank you, Derric Atzrott

Shhh, don't tell anybody... In Haifa we had some doubts about it, and eventually we required registration for the hackathon days, but not payment if you only come to them (and you would still get pizza). As far as I recall (it's all very hazy now) it was a good decision - at least one new productive hacker joined us thanks to this liberal arrangement. It's up to the DC organizers to decide, of course. -- Amir

I haven't made friends with the Wikimania DC local organizing team yet, but this question (and other questions I have) are forcing me to. Which is good. (-: So I'll get back to y'all on this soonish! -- Asheesh.

The registration fee is only required for the main conference days. Everyone is welcome to the hackathon days and unconference. Cheers, Katie
