Hack-A-Ton DC

Translate this post

Greetings MediaWiki hackers!
I am pleased to announce the upcoming MediaWiki Hack-A-Ton in Washington, DC.
As you are all aware, every year in April our good friends at Wikimedia Deutschland host the annual “MediaWiki Developers Meetup” in Berlin. At that event, the program is focused on demonstrations, workshops and small group discussions. To complement this, we’re planning the DC meetup to be focused solely on hacking, bugfixing and getting down and dirty with the
code.
We’re scheduling this for October 22nd-24th in Washington, DC. Some of the details haven’t been ironed out yet, but will be announced over the coming days as it is. So clear your calendars, and keep your eyes on MediaWiki.org and the mailing lists for more information.
Some travel assistance may be available for those coming a long way. I’ve also been told there will be swag of some sort for attendees 🙂

And one more thing: I forgot to mention Bugzilla. To help track the event, we’ve added a new keyword, “bugsmash.” Prior to the Hack-A-Ton, we’d like people to start tagging bugs that should be tackled during the event. It will help the participants get started finding bugs, as well as bump the priority on a bug you’ve been wanting to see fixed.

Wikimedia Deutschland has organized an annual MediaWiki developers’ meetup in Berlin since 2009 (Chad also refers to this in his post), attracting MediaWiki devs from all over Europe. On a global scale, Berlin is quite close to France 🙂

I am also interested in such type of events, any of like these may held on India….???
