The MediaWiki developer meet-up... I would have preferred, in the interests
of consistency, that they had called it "ManiaWiki", but so be it. :)
I'm sending this to the users list as well, and not just the developers
list, because at the first SMW users meeting, in Boston in November, there
was somewhat of a consensus that there should be a second meeting sometime
between April and June in Germany. The thought was to hold it in either
Frankfurt or Karlsruhe, but this meet-up might be a good one to latch on to
instead, since there will presumably be people interested in attending both;
it seems like it would work well even for those who aren't developers (they
note in the email that it's really just for anyone interested in the
technical aspects of MediaWiki).
Anyway, if you're interested, just put yourself on that wiki page; you can
sign up as "maybe".

Subject: [Wikitech-l] MediaWiki developer meet-up in Berlin, April 3-5
To: toolserve...@lists.wikimedia.org, mediawik...@lists.wikimedia.org,
Wikimedia developers <wikitec...@lists.wikimedia.org>,
wikiresearc...@lists.wikimedia.org
Hello All
I'm happy to announce the MediaWiki Developer Meet-Up will happen April
3.-5. in
Berlin, at the c-base. The event is for everyone who works on MediaWiki,
writes
extensions, builds bots, writes scripts for the toolserver, or is otherwise
interested in the technical aspects of Wikimedia. We are happy that we can
now
have the meet-up after our plans for 25C3 and FOSDEM failed. If you want to
come
to the Developer Meetup, please sign up at
<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Developer_meet-up_2009>.
The event will take place in parallel to the Wikimedia Foundation's board
meeting and chapter meeting, so there will be a lot of Wikimedians in Berlin
at
the time. We plan to have a party to bring everyone together and give an
opportunity for developers, board members and chapter people to mingle.
The meet-up will be a loose BacCamp-like event so topics and schedule are
largely up to you. The goal is to get to know new aspects of MediaWiki and
Wikimedia and to develop ideas on how we can make things even better. And of
course to have a lot of fun with wiki hackers from around the world!
