Hey guys, I just found out about this awesome event called a Testathon (a hackathon for testers) happening in Addis Ababa on Saturday October 19th and Sunday October 20th (these are 2 separate one-day events). On the day you’ll be testing amazing apps and competing with the best testers to win a whole load of prizes (phones, tablets, headphones, etc). It'll also be a great opportunity to network with other testers, meet the Facebook team and learn from industry best practices. Here's one they ran with Spotify in Sweden: http://youtu.be/Bt39KucH5VA There should be a few people from our meetup going. You can register here http://testathon.co
