Yes, Hi Rynnel and all!

Rynnel, in terms of theme, we're interested in helping people contribute
to Wikipedia's content, MediaWiki software, related software (like
extensions), and to generally get more involved in the Wikimedia Foundation's
and other related open source communities.

If you're interested in participating in those, that'd be excellent,
and we'd be happy to have you.

Some hackathons are general, open events where people work on their own
projects. This hackathon is focused, as Sumana said, on technologies that
integrate with Wikipedia and other Wikimedia software.

Hope that helps! And maybe see you there!?
