Workshop Joe Matazzoni jmatazzoni@wikimedia.org JMatazzoni (WMF) product manager for the WMF Community Tech team The WMF Community Tech team is working on a tool to help event organizers create, run and generate reports about editathons and similar events. In this session, I’ll discuss the research we’ve completed and the initial plans we will have produced for such a tool by the time of the conference. The sessions goal: to bring event organizers together for  a discussion about their needs, to gather feedback on plans for the first version of the Event Tool (working title), and to  generate ideas for future iterations. 45-60 mins (a 15-min presentation followed by 30-45 mins of discussion) Just a projector to attach to my Mac. You will be a better judge than me. 20 people? No, this is a new project. yes yes
