I invite you to the yearly Berlin hackathon. It's scheduled for 1-3
June and registration is now open. If you need financial assistance or
help with hotel/hostel/visa, just mention it in the registration form,
and please try to register by May 1st.

This is the premier event for the MediaWiki and Wikimedia technical
community. We'll be hacking, designing, and socialising, primarily
talking about Gadgets, the switch to Lua for MediaWiki templates,
Wikidata, and Wikimedia Labs.
Our goals for the event are to bring 100-150 people together, with
lots of people who have not attended such events before. User
scripts, gadgets, API use, Toolserver, Wikimedia Labs, mobile,
structured data, templates -- if you are into any of these things, we
want you to come!
