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.
