Hi Pierre,
thanks for your offer to help! Julian has just drafted an invitation
email and sent it to comdev (now CC'd as well). I'll quickly paste it in
here, any feedback is appreciated:
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
I'm sure there will be plenty more to do in order to prepare the
hackathon and we will gladly get back to you :)
Thank you very much!
Best,
Paul
