All, Just some thoughts for the NiFi Hackathon Meetup, it might be good to identify a handful of JIRA's that could be worked on by people fairly new to the codebase, and provide as much background info as possible on those issues for someone to hit the ground running. The goal would be to have a couple of PRs/patches submitted by the end of the night and merged by a committer.
Of course if those already familiar with the codebase want to come and work on more advanced issues, or flesh out designs, that is fine too.
