===''Wikimania 2012 Hack-a-Thon''===
 
 
The Wikimania hack-a-thon is an opportunity for technologists and hackers of all backgrounds to meet, discuss MediaWiki development, and collaborate on exciting new projects in the days prior to the Wikimania 2012 conference. Prior experience with the MediaWiki software is not required, and translators with a linguistic background who can help improve language support for Wikimedia technology projects are especially needed.

As part of the Wikimania 2012 conference, Wikimedia DC is hosting the 2012 Congress of Wikimedians in the United States. The congress is an inaugural event that aims to bring together representatives of Wikimedia chapters and regional groups, national and regional GLAM and outreach coordinators, and other interested Wikipedians and Wikimedians from across the United States, and we invite everyone to join us for an evening of discussion and collaboration.
 
 
Attendees will have the opportunity to hear about local programs and activities from representatives of chapters and regional groups around the country, to help plan nation-wide program coordination and outreach events for the coming year, and to discuss ideas for building a stronger network of local Wikimedian groups across the United States.

This is a great opportunity to connect with other Wikimania attendees, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees, and individuals from the Washington, DC, area, and to hear about the World Digital Library and how it fits into our global vision.
