Goals

Four full days of hacking Aug 14-17, 2017 in Potsdam, NY towards specific aims outlined below!

This will be similar to http://wiki.kiwix.org/wiki/Hackathon_Wikimania_2016 in Esino Lario, Italy in June 2016, but with more implementers represented (Internet-in-a-Box and similar).

We ask that everyone spend 5 nights in Potsdam, NY, immediately following Wikimania 2017 in Montreal (Aug 9-13 2017).

We expect to drive from Montreal, Quebec, Canada to Potsdam, NY immediately after dinner on Sunday Aug 13, 2017, when Wikimania ends.

Departing flights should leave from Montreal's airport on Friday Aug 18, 2017, starting midday. Flights departing early morning will NOT be possible, as the drive from Potsdam to Montreal's airport in a full 2 hours, and includes a border crossing with possible delays!

Contact holt @ laptop.org if you would like to contribute, joining the Kiwix and Internet-in-a-Box team during these 4 intense+productive days/nights!
