Hey Max, Myrle, Paul and all others,
I just had a short Slack discussion with Paul who gave me some details and I
prepared the attached announcement.
I would kindly ask you to review it (dates, text general and response mails and
sender) and then we can throw it out, I guess.
@Myrle Krantz you take care of that, right?
Julian

Dear Apache Project PMC Members:
There will be space at ACEU 2019 dedicated to a hackathon. The space
will be available on 23./24.10 from the start of each
day’s schedule until 7:00 PM, with the possible exception of during
keynote and single-track / conference-wide events.
We want to invite everybody to participate on the Hackathon. Collaborative
development on project
source code, improvements to project documentation, and development of
example apps or tools built upon one or more Apache projects are all
encouraged. Furthermore, it's a nice opportunity to get in touch with other
contributors.
More details will be available leading up to the event, but here’s
generally what to expect:
- Dedicated space with chairs, power, wifi, snacks, and caffeine.
- Tables dedicated to specific participating projects.
- ‘Getting Started’ discussions for new and aspiring committers
- (industrial) IoT Corner with industrial equipment to code against
With most logistical concerns now attended to, we are identifying
interested participants, promoters, and coordinators. Are you an
PMC member or committer willing to do the following on behalf of
your project:
- Operate a dedicated hackathon table for some time
- Designate collaborative work for your project’s table to help hackers
focus
- Encourage your community to hack at your project’s table
- Spread the word throughout your commuity!
Interested? Reply to plann...@apachecon.com to reserve a table for some time
for your project that we can advertise to your community.
We are currently working out a Hackathon schedule that will be posted,
letting attendees know when they should expect activities related to
their project and various open sessions to take place. If you will
take on the lead role for your project, we will work with you to plan,
prepare, and generate interest in the wider community.
If you aren’t interested in hacking yourself but want to help others,
we could also use persons who are willing to do one or more of the
following:
- Operate the primary information table in the hackathon space for several
hours
- Give a short introductory tools or skills presentation / answer questions
Thanks!
ACEU Hackathon Organization Team
P.S. We invite anyone who has ideas to share with the planning
committee, or is considering participating in any way, to let us know
via dev@community.apache.org

Hey everyone,
Seems like we already have a lot of interest for organizing a hackathon
in Berlin :)
Do we have time slots already allocated in the schedule or is that still
to be determined?
How far are we with the announcement for the PMCs?
Cheers,
Max
