[WMF-outreach-staff] Mozilla volunteers on wikimania Hackathon

[Sumana Harihareswara]

Just to close the loop on this now that the Wikimania hackathon is over
-- I hope some of you came and enjoyed yourselves and the fabulous
Wikimedia community!

Looking forward to hacking with you at future events as well, and online
in IRC events if you're interested in that.  This mailing list
(wmf-outreach-staff at lists.openhatch.org) is probably the best way to
coordinate that.
