If it is not in the agenda and there is nothing announced in advance, people just do not self-organise. This is my experience. Or somebody just need to shout at place about the hackathon.

And there was not option to interact with other projects. What about organizing code sprints during the event? Something like "integrate project Apache Foo into project Apache Bar (e.g. as an extension)" with developers from at least 2 projects in each code sprint. Maybe with some insensitive for developers to participate to code sprints (e.g., reduced fees) and a short presentation of the progress made at the end of each day, e.g. in a dedicated talk session. Yes. We generally call that the “Hackathon”, and provide space for it. The key word in your note, though, is “organizing.” Someone has to do that. And over the years fewer and fewer people have showed up to do that work, until the last couple of times we tried this, the space sat almost entirely empty. That said, I still think it’s an *amazing* idea, and something that we should keep trying. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@community.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@community.apache.org
