Thanks for this Fabian. Hopefully lots of people will sign up to volunteer or attend. I will be going to MozFest for the first time this year and am very pleased to be speaking on the programme. There will actually be quite a few Wikimedia staff there as a number of people will be coming over from Germany and I believe Katherine Maher (Wikimedia Foundation ED) will be giving a keynote.
I'm afraid I won't be able to make either of the East London meet ups but I look forward to seeing some of you at the end of October!
