Hackathon at Community Over Code Glasgow 2026 — Airflow in?
Hi folks,
There's a hackathon being planned for Community Over Code Glasgow
(October 11–14, 2026). Many of the projects with content at the event
are being invited to take part, and I've signed up to help coordinate
the outreach for a handful — ours included.
Shape of it: a dedicated room and some conference time where Airflow
contributors and interested attendees can sit together and work on
things we actually want done — bug fixes, docs, small features,
whatever we put in front of them. Duration (one day, two days, …) is
TBD and will scale to interest, so this first year back at it is
effectively a pilot. Worst case the room sits empty; best case we get
a useful chunk of focused work plus some new contributors who stick
around afterwards.
Four things I'd like to take back to the planners:
1. Are we in?
2. Anyone want to be the point of contact between the planners and
our community? (Doesn't need to be a heavy lift — mostly relaying
messages and showing up on the day.)
3. Closer to the date, can we put together a short hand-picked list
of bugs / good-first-issues / docs gaps / etc. for attendees to
pick from? The better that list is, the more we get out of the
day.
4. Once dates and format are firmed up, will we promote it on dev@
and users@?
Reply on-list, or ping me directly. Even "yes in principle, details
later" is useful for sizing.
Coordination is happening on the ApacheCon Slack #hackathon channel
(http://s.apache.org/apachecon-slack), with a tracking spreadsheet at
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oz41kRqhUoRV3PhcHcAdQNorBiFUZHzpdguBbtKZcA4/edit?usp=sharing

Thanks a lot for organizing this Jarek (and Rich) — just joined the Slack.
Quick share: another Airflow session "Disruption-Ready Airflow" was accepted for
COC Glasgow, Arthur and I will be there too. Looking
forward to meeting folks in person — and happy to join the hackathon
room.

The event is in October, so it's certainly not too late. :)
As for arranging a session before, the room is not going to be optimized for presentations. It will be a round-table layout, and there will be multiple groups working in there at the same time. Having someone give a presentation in that context will be very disruptive. That said, doing this as a sit-down, conversation, mentoring kind of thing would probably work without disrupting neighboring conversations.

Hello,
Sounds Interesting ,
If it's not too late , I'd love to join - I'm happy to volunteer in any
way I can
Could we organize a short session before hackathon ? It could cover an
intro and the key details , so more people cna get involved easily. It
could also a 2 way session where participants can ask questions and share
their thoughts -
Thanks and Regards,

Yep. Let's make it happen and figure out good timing. I think there are
enough of us to make it happen and we can share our attention :) ....
It's going to be fun. There will be other Airflow projects around ... and
we can figure out the details. I can make 4 of us as points of contact :D

Ideally we'll find a way to schedule in a way that it doesn't. this is still very much in planning. Come help us figure this out.

Hi Jarek,
The idea sounds good, but won't this clash with the *other *sessions going
on
in parallel, which could lead to lower attendance?
I will be really happy to help with 3, if we decide to proceed.
Thanks & Regards,

Over-all aligned with Jens' take. Onboard with the idea, and I should
probably have more time as well to help out. For 2, I'm not sure what the
scope is but I can volunteer.

Hi Jarek,
to 1) sounds interesting but as I have personally never attended a CoC
so far not sure whether the rest of panels/topics/stuff to be donw might
be overwhelming. Still I'd think it would be useful between us as
committers/contributors to align on certain topics.
to 2-4) would raise my hand but recently my time went under the bus, so
can not commit to contribute.
