We are happy to announce the upcoming Oakathon (Hackathon for Oak) 
taking place September 25th in Berlin:

Jackrabbit Oak (http://jackrabbit.apache.org/oak/) is an effort to 
implement a scalable and performant hierarchical content repository. The 
Oak project was started in March 2012. In this hackathon we want improve 
the Oak code base, but also give an opportunity for newcomers to learn 
about the project and take first steps.

If there is interest the Oakathon can be extended as a side track during 
the whole adatpTo(Berlin) 2012 conference. Goals will depend on 
participants' interests and will be decided on site. Potential topics are:

* improve performance testing framework
* implement a search engine plugin
* implementation of a micro kernel based on a NoSQL database
* a Javascript client for Oak
* ...
