[Noisebridge-discuss] Aaron's wake at the Internet Archive.

[Yan Zhu]

Regarding a memorial hackathon for Aaron centered around the theme of
social justice and free access to information, I'm in the process of
organizing that with the help of Rubin and Shannon. Jan 26 is the tentative
date. There will also be one in Boston, possibly other cities as well if
folks are willing to organize.

Will spam when I have more info.
