Dear all,
Due to all the requests from the community (and in order to be aligned
with EB’s Code of Conduct :) CSCS won’t be charging any registration fee
for the Hackathon.
The webpage has been updated accordingly. Please be aware that the
registration is mandatory (deadline is March 18th).
Thank you for your efforts on this Guilherme, much appreciated!
regards,
Kenneth
Cheers,

Subject: participation fees at the 11th EB hackathon (WAS: Re: [easybuild]
FW: 11th EasyBuild Hackathon hosted at CSCS in Lugano)
Hi Guilherme, all,
We’re happy to announce the 11th EasyBuild Hackathon that will take
place at CSCS in Lugano, just after the HPC Advisory Council (which
also happens to be in Lugano).
This Hackathon will be mostly dedicated to hands on activities,
however it will also include a short intro for new users.
Thanks for organizing this!
However, I see that CSCS is charging participants 80. CHF per day, and I
find this unfair towards Hackathon contributors and institutions that
have hosted similar events in the past for free.
After all, CSCS is going to profit eventually from work done at the
Hackathon in terms of bug fixes and new features for EB; asking
participants to pay in order to come to work in Lugano really feels like
double-charging to me.
Of course, the amount is not a problem (160. CHF is peanuts in an IT
group's budget), but I do really feel these charges are undue.
Ciao,
R
