Hi, Sumana Harihareswara here, interim volunteer development
coordinator. Thanks for the introduction, Rob.
Nicole Ebber (Wikimedia DE -- thanks, Germany chapter!) and I are
organizing the Berlin developer Meeting in mid- or late May. We have
two strong candidates for the dates: either May 20-22, 2011 or May
13-15, 2011. Please indicate your preference as soon as you can on the
straw poll:

so Nicole can get the venue secured by early next week.
Also, it would be great for us to plan ahead for the sprints and mark
bugs for the bugbash. Please add possible bugs to the bug list
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/mediawiki/wiki/Berlin_Hackathon_2011…
and consider what would be the best use of the concentrated developer
time in Berlin. While we have all this power in one place, let's hash
out a couple of issues and come to clear decisions. A few ideas from
the wiki page:
* New parser design
* Expansion of the Virtualization Framework
* toolserver's purpose and services, since we'll be in Berlin
but we should probably just focus on two, since we only have 2-3 days.
Best,
Sumana Harihareswara
