"the main goal of the workshop is to allow the Lua community to get
together and meet in person and talk about the Lua language, its uses,
and its implementation.... We shall have a plenary talk by Roberto
Ierusalimschy (Lua's chief architect) and several contributed talks....
If you'd like to speak at the workshop, please send a tentative title
and a short abstract to the organizers."
If you think it would be useful for Wikimedia to make an appearance, go
ahead and submit an abstract or suggest someone to go.

Actually, you don't have to register for Wikimania to come to the
hackathon. The registration fee is only required for the main
conference days; everyone is welcome to come to the hackathon days and
unconference for free. So tell your DC friends to sign up at
https://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hackathon and come!

June 26-29, a bunch of us will be in Portland, Oregon, USA for the Open
Source Bridge conference.
http://opensourcebridge.org/events/2012/schedule
WMF is sponsoring the Friday unconference day, and will host a hacking
table that day as well as (I hope) the Tuesday "Hacker Lounge
Project/Community Night."
Wikimedians are giving several talks during OSBridge:
"Identity, Reputation and Gratitude: Designing for a community" by
Brandon Harris: Tuesday, 1:30
"A snapshot of Open Source in West Africa" by Renaud Gaudin:
Tuesday, 3:45
"Building A Visual Editor for Wikipedia" by Roan Kattouw and Trevor
Parscal: Tuesday, 4:45
"Internationalization @Wikipedia: Helping add the next billion web
users" by Alolita Sharma: Wednesday, 10am
"Why you need to host 100 new wikis just for yourself." by Ward
Cunningham: Wednesday, 2:30
"Outreach Events: My Triumphs, My Mistakes" by Asheesh Laroia and
me: Thursday, 3:45
I give the opening keynote address on Tuesday morning. My tentative
title: "Be Bold."
If you're in or near Portland and want to come, let me know; I might be
able to hook you up with a free conference pass.

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

At the hackathon, we'll have trainings and projects for novices, and we

bots, mobile apps, you name it -- to hack on stuff together and teach
each other.
Hope to see you!
