Hey guys,
I want to share details about an event next week in D.C. We want to
get the word out to as many people as possible, including Wikimedians,
Creative Commoners, Mozillans, hackers, academics, and geeks of all
stripes.
This is guaranteed to be a really fun event, and we'd appreciate if
you'd tell your friends and colleagues, tweet like crazy, and spread
the word.
