[Wikitech-l] Fwd: Participation in an Aaron Swartz Hackathon event
There is a plan for a worldwide round of Aaron Hackathons, on the upcoming Nov 8-10 weekend. http://aaronswartzhackathon.org/ Coordination: https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Worldwide_Aaron_Swartz_Memorial_Hackathon_Series We have been invited to run a hackathon. Can we organize it? We would need to find a project and a critical mass of contributors willing to document and coordinate the hackathon. One possibility could be to kick-off the hackathon on Friday 8 Nov in a physical location (San Francisco), and focus initially on the distribution of tasks. Then remote participants could also participate taking tasks, participating with the rest of the group on some IRC channel and occasional videoconferences. About the project, I personally think that it should have a link with the motivation of the hackathon: We were part of an inchoate, ad-hoc community of collaborators who helped each other learn how to code. No, not how to write code ‒ how to write code for the purpose of changing the world. - Zooko, on memories of Aaron See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Swartz#Life_and_works On Sat, 5 Oct 2013, Noah Swartz wrote: Hey assorted Wikimedia people, As I may have mentioned to some of you previously, we're running another round of Aaron Hackathons, on the upcoming Nov 8-10 weekend.
