Hi Riccardo,

as others said, try to push as much deliberation/setup/preps in front
of the event. TDF provides a number of cloud VMs with a pre-built
libreoffice for hackfests, so don't waste time with that during the
event. Try to have them pre-select an Easy Hack beforehand, or pick
one for them if you have an idea about their skill sets.

For keeping people involved, of course a working libreoffice compile
on their laptops is sortof nice, so this could be something to do in
the background while working on the cloud instances. Don't expect all
builds to be finished after 4 hours though...

The gratification of having an Easy Hack submitted to gerrit & merged
is hard to beat. I'd go with that.

My 2 cents at least,
