Hi Rich, It sounds interesting! I’d be happy to hear more about it and help out if you decide to move forward.

We'd love for your community to participate. The idea is simple: dedicated time and space at the conference for contributors (new and existing) to work together on real tasks — fixing bugs, writing docs, tackling issues that need focused attention, or onboarding new contributors. To participate, we'd need a few things from your project: • A point of contact — someone we can coordinate with on logistics and who'll be present at the event. • A list of tasks — bugs, docs, features, good-first-issues, or whatever your project wants to focus on. This helps people show up ready to contribute rather than spending the first hour figuring out what to work on. • Promotion — a message to your dev@ and users@ lists letting people know this is happening and encouraging them to attend. This is the first year we're bringing the hackathon back, so we're treating it as a pilot — we want to gauge interest before committing to scale. Even if only a few contributors from your project can participate, that's a great start. If you're interested, please reply here or reach out to me directly. Even a quick "yes, we're in" or "maybe, let's talk" is helpful as we figure out how many projects to plan for. Also, please join us in the #hackathon channel on the ApacheCon Slack — that's where we'll be coordinating as things come together: http://s.apache.org/apachecon-slack Thanks, Rich, on behalf of the Community Over Code planners
