We will once again have a Hackathon at ApacheCon North America in Portland, OR! The Hackathon will be taking place on Monday 25th February, from 10am. That's the day before main conference tracks on Tues-Thurs, so come along early if you can. The Hackathon will run from 10am (to give us time to get everything setup), until 5.30pm. Everyone is welcome!

Summary

  • What - Apache Hackathon: Testing, Bug Fixing, New Features, Documentation, Brainstorming, Design and more!
  • Where - In the converence venue (exact room TBC)
  • When - Monday 25th February, from 10am - 5.30pm

Everyone is welcome to attend the hackathon! Whether you're coming to the conference or just local, whether you're an existing committer or not, whether you're a coder or a writer or a designer or a tester, you'll all have a chance to get involved!

When you arrive at the venue, we'll have a board / display / poster up listing what projects are on what tables, and descriptions of the hackathons taking place. If you've already signed up for a hackathon, you can head straight to your table and get started! If you don't have a specific project in mind, you can consult the board to find likely suspects based on your interests and skills, then go and find the project table and they'll help you get started.

Sponsors

Microsoft are kindly sponsoring the cost of the hackathon, and Alfresco are kindly sponsoring the lunch and refreshments. Thank you both for providing the sponsorship to let the event happen!

When the hackathon ends at 5.30pm, everyone attending the hackathon is invited to attend the Committers reception, which is kindly sponsored once again by the lovely folks at VMWare.
