IxDA Limerick is organising a one day event on learning how to become a Wikipedia contributor. Two experienced wikipedians- Rebecca O'Neill and Shannon Eichelberger from the Wikimedia Community Ireland- will guide our steps. As the event is part of the series of IxDA events supported by ID2015- A Year of Irish Design, we are planning to focus on adding new articles (or expanding existing ones) on the topic of Irish Design.

H20 Hackathon – A Water Challenge was conceived during the summer of 2014 by San Joaquin County entrepreneurs, business leaders, government officials, and environmental leaders who saw a need for the development of new water technology in order to contend with the impacts of severe drought. San Joaquin County is ground zero for many of the water challenges facing urban and agricultural communities throughout the state.  Farmers face the challenges of extended droughts and extreme wet periods that will intensify with the impacts of climate change.  A growing urban population, urban water districts, state parks, and wildlife areas face the same challenges.  Water is the most essential resource for the continued health of California’s agriculture, recreation, and business economies.  Yet, it is a finite resource that must be protected to guarantee the future environmental health of the state, in addition to the public health of California residents.
