The M3P Foundation is holding its first annual edit-a-thon on Saturday 14 September 2013 at the National Archives of Malta in Rabat.

Join us for the 1st M3P edit-a-thon!

The event starts at 1:30pm and you are free to join for as long as you like. The editathon ends at 7:00pm when refreshments will be served to all attendees.

What is an editathon?

The word "editathon" or "edit-a-thon" is a portmanteau of the words "edit" and "marathon".

In this case, "edit" is used in the sense of contributing edits to the M3P wiki.
