Action=History: Sunday Hackathons @ Ace Hotel

On the last Sunday of every month from 2-6pm, the Boardroom at Ace Hotel New York hosts Action Equals History — a unique opportunity for New Yorkers to learn hands-on in a technology training/workshop session about the mechanics, practices and benefits of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia projects.
