Hi Terran,

Dates have not been selected yet, that is part of the process we'll work
through over the next couple of weeks.  I'm putting together the survey for
the community now.  I'll add you to my email list and forward the initial
email to you in a few minutes.

 This is an EXTERNAL email. Exercise caution. DO NOT open attachments or 
click links from unknown senders or unexpected email. 

Good afternoon,

As many people know the Hack-A-Way has been around for about nine years now and 
has been an event that has allowed developers to concentrate their efforts as a 
group.  A big part of that has been removing online barriers by letting them 
interact face to face.  Face to face is not such a great idea right now.  But 
we will keep calm and Evergreen on.

So, the Hack-A-Way this year goes online.  I'm hoping to solicit a few 
additional volunteers.   We will look at online meeting platforms and evaluate 
them to try to find the following:

1) one that allows dynamic creation of meeting rooms/streams so that users can 
gather together just as they could at physical tables at will
2) supports moderated meetings so that presentations can be done with question 
and input
3) supports recording the meetings and presentations for archival on the 
community Youtube channel
4) scheduling so that we don't have to do it manually

Then, this same group will organize the event, get it scheduled, and do 
whatever it takes to make it happen.  The requirements may change as we look at 
platforms but they are a starting point.  All of this will be with an eye 
toward learning some lessons for the future.  I hope to not only find a strong 
platform for this year but a platform that can be used to supplement the 
in-person Hack-A-Way in future years.

Anyone interested, just let me know.  We will work heavily by email but have 
some online meetings, especially to test tools.
