Hey folks, As many of you know, Aaron Swartz was a Wikipedia contributor who also thought deeply about the contributor dynamics of the project & was instrumental to the SOPA/PIPA grassroots campaign. [1]
It's been the long time since Aaron Swartz Day happened as an in-person event, but this time it _will_ happen at the Internet Archive, November 12-13. I'll be there along with members of the SecureDrop team [2], but I hope to also see Wikimedians. It's an awesome way to celebrate Aaron's contributions every year. You can find more about the event here - registration is free via the Eventbrite link on the homepage: https://www.aaronswartzday.org/ Would be lovely to see some new & familiar faces from the Wikimedia community :). Help getting the word out is appreciated! Warmly, Erik [1] See https://diff.wikimedia.org/2013/01/12/remembering-aaron-swartz-1986-2013/ for a remembrance I wrote after his death.
