I did not have any expectations about this hackathon, so just prepared a single task [1]. As it turned out, a number of people showed up, some self-assigning alternative tasks. In addition to un-archive project, picked up by a team of participants, Kenny Chen worked [2] on improving table alignment code performance, and Pedro Andres Aranda Gutierrez continued his ongoing work [3] on LaTeX export improvements for non-English documents. The un-archive project itself was worked on [4] by Sam Crawford, Thomas Ingram, David Talmage, Morgan Smith, and Thibaut Meyer. Xiaoduan Chang also tried, although he joined a bit late, and worked [5] independently due to timezone differences. The team won a prize [6], becoming one of the three winners of the hackathon. Citing the early announcement during the closing ceremony from memory, they impressed jury for "being especially welcome to the newcomers". Shoutout to all the participants who contributed to Org mode and other projects during the hackathon. P.S.
