OFBiz Hackathon for Apachecon US?
Hi All
This may seem a really way out idea but what do people think about trying to
organise a mini OFBiz hackathon at Apachecon US?
It could be even as short as half day or a day, that way we can make use of
the attendance of committers and developers and build some community
spirit and code at the same time.
Thanks
Sharan

Hi Pranay
Thanks very much for looking into it. Those dates look fine to me. I think
rather than voting on which day to choose, we can just run the first one on
21st March and see how many participate. Afterwards we could then run a
survey to get some participation numbers and general feedback so that we can
improve the next one if necessary.
I'll plan to set up something on the Wiki for it with some provisional dates
set for sending out mailing list reminders.
Let me think about it a little more because it would be good to align what
we do on the Community Day with the project goals and roadmap.
BTW I think we've hijacked this thread so I will post any updates on this
using 'OFBiz Community Day' as part of the subject line.
Thanks
Sharan

Thanks Sharan.
How about these dates each quarter-
Q1 - Saturday March 21 2015
Q2 - Saturday June 20 2015
Q3 - Saturday September 19 2015
Q4 - Saturday December 19 2015
If community shows interest we can publish news on OFBiz site for the same.
On start of each quarter we can announce the dates and reminders for the
same in the beginning/middle every month. Reminders are needed so that
interested parties can plan their availability accordingly.
We can call vote for the same, this way we will be able to know if
community is interested in participating in such events.
There will be definitely time zone issue we will face but IMO we should
discuss possibilities. The date and the day is important irrespective of
the time zone. Different groups can be active on the same date and we'll
definitely achieve something.
As one community member dedicates a full day of work around 8 hours he may
work on-
1. Documentation Updates
2. Bug Fixes
3. Improvements
4. New Features
5. Testing a component and creating automated tests (JUnit, Selenium)
In general anything is done for the project on the dedicated day and we'll
be able take community
interaction and spirit to next level.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Pranay Pandey

Hi Pranay
That sounds like an excellent idea and a great way to build community
interaction and spirit. Thanks for suggesting it.
Let's look at the calendar and set some provisional dates so that everyone
can know in advance and plan for them.
Thanks
Sharan

Hi Sharan,
Its a great idea for sure.
Why not calling a day Community Day for OFBiz every quarter of the year?
Usually it can be in the 3rd week of the month, lets say Saturday.
This way we will be able to organize 4 big community day every year.
On this day every community member is invited to solely work on OFBiz bugs,
improvements, new features and testing for whole day together. It will be
completely optional to participate.
It should be possible to come together and work with all the available
tools around us for managing OFBiz i.e. mailing lists, JIRA, Confluence.
Just an idea I got, so thought to put it here as I read your email.
Thanks,
Pranay Pandey

Hi Ruth
I dont really know anyone's fixed plans but I'm just going on the Apache
submissions (and potential submissions) we've had so far.
I think that Hans is hoping to be there, also Jacopo and Anil. Adam and Ean
have said they are interested in submitting something and Adrian is also
interested. So that's possibly 5 committers including some PMC presence.
Thanks
Sharan

Hi Sharan:
Sorry. Maybe the wrong TV show to reference. I don't watch television,
so I don't know many details about what I have assumed is a "reality
cooking show". But from what I have heard this is televised competition
to see who can prepare the best meal given a set of ingredients in a
fixed amount of time. Of course there are all kinds of theatrics and
drama, but in the end it is a showcase for some allegedly talented chefs
to show off their skills.
My thought is to solicit an OFBiz challenge from the audience and have
the panel members solve the problem while the audience looks on.
Just a thought.

What is an "iron chef"? I've never heard of this before.

Hi Sharan:
Interesting idea.
Just curious: Which developers and committers have agreed to be there?
Here's another idea: How about something like the "iron chef"?
