Re-sending as a second invitation to those who are interested (and please feel free to pass it along to others). The page on MediaWiki.org has been updated recently with additional information. The exact area of DC we will be in is called Tyson's Corner. We're talking with two hotels right now, so we should have an answer on which of the two we'll be staying at in the next day I hope. Also, a few people have asked me about getting funding for travel expenses. So if you'd like to come and money is an issue for you, please talk with Danese (dan...@wikimedia.org) Thanks, and I hope to see you all there! -Chad _______________________________________________ Mediawiki-api mailing list Mediawiki-api@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-api
