Amsterdam Hackathon 2013

The Amsterdam Hackathon 2013 is an opportunity for all Wikimedia community developers and sysadmins to come together, squash bugs and write crazy new features. Unlike the previous years (2012, 2011, etc.) this Hackathon won't be in Berlin, but in Amsterdam.

Date
A weekend (Friday to Sunday) in May 2013. We should have a final date by the end of this year (2012).

Straw Poll
We're aiming to do the hackathon in May 2013 with a preference for the weekend of Saturday the 25th. Options are:
 * Weekend of the 4th of May. This weekend is Remembrance of the Dead and Liberation Day in the Netherlands so we rather not do it this weekend.
 * Weekend of the 11th of May. Ascension day will be on Thursday the 9th of May so a lot of people will go on a long weekend. Probably means more expensive ho(s)tels.
 * Weekend of the 18th of May.Pentecost will be on Monday the 20th of May so a lot of people will go on a long weekend. Probably means more expensive ho(s)tels.
 * Weekend of the 25th of May. Our preferred weekend.

Please tell us when on which weekends you can't and if the preferred weekend is fine with you. If you like, let us also know why - we are especially interested in the dates for exams etc around Europe.


 * Any week-end is fine to me. Antoine &#34;hashar&#34; Musso (talk) 13:09, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Very difficult to do the weekends of either the 11th of May or 18th of May due to overlapping with RIPE (WMF just became a LIR and is required to attend) - https://ripe66.ripe.net/ . Cannot do the weekend of the 4th of May due to personal reasons. 25th of May weekend is fine. LeslieCarr (talk) 16:31, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
