== Facilities & Accommodations == | |||
SUNY Potsdam (State University of New York) conference facility, nearby riverside pub/restaurant, and backyard BBQ thanks especially to Martin Walker's church! | |||
Wi-Fi and hopefully also wireline Ethernet will be provided, so don't let our http://OFF.NETWORK Content Hackathon name scare you too much ''(though offline dogfooding of all our community products IS encouraged!)'' | |||
Contact Adam (holt @ laptop.org) to arrange hotel options, university dorms or hosting with friends. Martin Walker and his compadres in Potsdam, NY are ''greatly assisting to make this all possible, as you will see!'' | |||
May/June Update: Martin has worked non-stop on this in recent months and will soon summarize a tight list of the best accommodations prices & options, including excellent & affordable university dorms possible for those who RSVP in early June. Draft Notes might also emerge on the [[Talk:Hackathon_Wikimania_2017|Talk Page]]. | |||
