Hi Yamil,
+1 to meeting in separate clusters and to using Google Hangouts to link
together clusters and individuals. I'm happy to go to Berklee or to C/W
MARS for the Massachusetts cluster.
Rather than spending time at the hack-a-way introducing people to
AsciiDoc, could we post a video tutorial so that people could watch it
ahead of time? The hack-a-way may be a good opportunity for people to
ask questions about AsciiDoc as they are using it for their first time.
How about if we set up a Doodle for November to see when people can
participate?

I like the idea of cluster groups if there are enough participants. I
also would be open to using Google-anything for this. While I'd love
to travel to Boston, I'm pretty sure my board and my budget would say
otherwise. Also, the idea of having an introduction at the beginning
is great. For some, I think muscling through and figuring things out
would work, but it'd be time consuming w/ varied results. If we can
all start at a common point, I think the quality of work will be more
consistent. At this point, I'm open to just about anything in
November or December (with a few exceptions not worth mentioning at
this point).

Hello,
This is a second attempt to start a discussion for to planning for
a full day DIG hack-a-way in what is left of 2013. The topic has
come up a couple times at the DIG monthly meetings, so I hope to
get the conversions going sooner than later. As a point of
reference, last year the DIG hack-a-way was held at Berklee
College of Music in Boston on October5th, 2012.
I just want to start throwing out some ideas of mine or from
recent DIG monthly meetings to get the conversation started...
- We do not need to repeat the date or the location from last
year. For example, I can foresee a cluster in Massachusetts.
- We can meet in separate clusters, in different geographic parts
- We can try using Google Hangouts for communication, as well as
technologies like Google Drive and/or Dropbox to share files in
near real-time.
- We can spend time in the morning just introducing people on how
to use our documentation formatting standard (AsciiDoc), so
newcomers would be welcome.
- We can try to pre-arrange to have a test server running the
latest version of EG with the Concerto test data set, to use as a
reference for writing documentation.
Some ideas of what we can work on during the hack-a-way...
- Convert and update old documentation into AsciiDoc
- Fix documentation bugs reported on Launchpad or mailing list
- Create new documentation for new EG features or undocumented
features
What do people think? Should we start suggesting certain dates or
locations?
Thanks in advance,
Yamil
