Community over Code Glasgow 2026 Hackathon - Next Steps
Hi everyone,
Thank you for confirming your project's participation in the hackathon
at Community over Code Glasgow 2026! https://communityovercode.org
Register at https://communityovercode.org/registration/
We now have 25 confirmed projects (plus 2 tentative), listed here:
https://events.apache.org/events/2026/community-over-code/hackathon.html
Here's a quick update on where we stand and what's next.
WHERE WE ARE NOW
----------------
Some projects have already provided task lists — dev@ threads, GitHub
issue labels, or specific goals — and the site links to mailing list
threads if you want to check on the status or volunteer to help.
Thank you to everyone who moved quickly on that. We're now four
months out — if your project hasn't put together a task list yet,
now's the time to get that organized (details below).
Some of you have floated ideas like pre-hackathon intro sessions.
Keep those coming.
WHAT TO DO NEXT
---------------
1. CREATE YOUR PROJECT'S HACKATHON PAGE. Submit a PR that adds:
source/events/2026/community-over-code/YOURPROJECT.md
Include your hackathon coordinator, a task list, and links to
relevant resources (GitHub issues, mailing list threads, discussion
forums, chat channels — whatever best amplifies your goals and
helps participants find their way in). Optionally list who from
your community is planning to attend.
A sample template is at:
source/events/2026/community-over-code/sampleproject.md
Then link your page from the table in hackathon.md.
There's no rush — the event is in October — but aim to have your
page up by mid-September so participants have time to find it.
2. IDENTIFY MENTORS. Who from your community might want to be at
the event to help participants get started?
3. SPREAD THE WORD. Talk about it everywhere your community
gathers — dev@ and user@ mailing lists, your project website,
community calls, standups, chat channels. Frame it as a great
onboarding opportunity: face-to-face mentoring + curated tasks +
supportive environment = a powerful pitch for new contributors.
Share the hackathon page on social media:
https://events.apache.org/events/2026/community-over-code/hackathon.html
4. GOT PROMOTIONAL IDEAS? Bring them to #hackathon on Slack or
planners@apachecon.com — let's brainstorm together.
Good news: we have a room secured for the hackathon. We're still
confirming exactly how many days it's available — I'll share
the full schedule once that's locked down.
The hackathon page is live at:
https://events.apache.org/events/2026/community-over-code/hackathon.html
PRs go to the comdev-events-site repo:
https://github.com/apache/comdev-events-site
STAY CONNECTED
--------------
Please join the #hackathon channel on the ApacheCon Slack for ongoing
coordination. That's where we'll share updates, ask questions, and
keep the conversation going between now and Glasgow.
If you're not yet on the ApacheCon Slack: http://s.apache.org/apachecon-slack
I'd also encourage subscribing to planners@apachecon.com — the
event organizers list where broader planning discussions happen.
This is OUR event — not mine. I'm coordinating logistics, but you
know your projects and your communities better than anyone. Please
come with suggestions for how we can make the hackathon better,
what format works best for your project, and what you need to succeed.
That's it for now. More specifics coming soon. Questions or ideas —
just reply here or ping me on Slack.

A good idea for this would be our architecture design / replacement for the Grails Profile / Grails Forge CLIs. It's something we sorely need to work through and would benefit from in person pairing.
@jamesfredley @matrei @sbglasius what are your thoughts?
