After a vote, this "project" was [chosen](http://www.force11.org/node/4358) as one of the winners. [Martin Fenner](http://blogs.plos.org/mfenner/) graciously agreed to co-organize it with me, and 8th of June we're organizing a workshop/meeting/unconference/hackathon on Scholarly Markdown in San Francisco. Sign up [on Eventbrite](http://www.eventbrite.com/event/6592206467), and add your information to [the wiki](https://github.com/karthikram/markdown_science/wiki/people-attending). We're also using the wiki to collect ideas (we'd love to hear from you even if you can't make it in person!). Here's the description from the Eventbrite page: *Please join us for a full day of presentations, discussions and coding around Markdown for scholarly content. Some of the potential outcomes of the workshop include: notes from discussion about the suitability of Markdown for scientific authoring (different stages, disciplines, etc)* - comprehensive list of tools/initiatives - notes from discussion about collaboration/synergy between tools - list of interesting examples/showcase (GH repositories etc) - list of "barriers", "obstacles" etc - notes from discussion about way forward, applying for grants, etc The event is supported by a 1K Force11 Challenge prize. Please add your background and ideas to the [wiki](https://github.com/karthikram/markdown_science/wiki/people-attending). And please contact the organizers @houshuang and @mfenner if you want to give a presentation or demo.*Hackfest to create tools/workflows/documentation on using Scholarly Markdown+Git for academic authoring/collab #1k #btpdf2 @cameronneylon
