ACNA Hackathon - Volunteer(s) needed
I need 1 to 3 volunteers to own the Hackathon for ACNA.
The Hackathon has long been a central part of ApacheCon. However, the
success of the hackathon waxes and wanes over the years, due largely to
whether someone steps up to drive it.
The hackathon has multiple intertwined purposes:
* Attract and mentor new committers
* Strengthen personal bonds within project community
* Foster cross-project cooperation
* Knock out difficult bugs/features/documentation projects
For this to be successful, the following things need to happen
* Projects need to know about it
* They need to prepare ahead of time. In particular, they need to think
about what they will be working on
* The plan (ie, what we'll be working on) must be promoted both within
the project (so that core project members show up prepared) and outside
(so that curious people show up and play along)
* There needs to be great signage on-site, and we need to mention it at
every plenary
To this end, I need someone(s) to step up to own this. I do not have
time to be the point person on this.
I need someone who cares about building project communities, is
enthusiastic about working directly with projects to build their
hackathon plans, and who plans to attend ACNA to do the on-site stuff
necessary to support the above. I need someone who is willing to take
the reins on this and drive it without much direction from me or anyone
else, and just report back periodically on progress.
Please let me know if you are willing to lead this effort. Thank you.
(Note: If you're on the other side of the pond, I expect that Myrle will
also be looking for someone to do this for ACEU, too.)

Sounds like a plan. I don't have the time off approved yet so fingers
crossed on that.

In Tomcat and PLC4X we did a Hackathon with EU-FOSSA2, the event
organize itself once you have a venue and a bunch of tables/power
supplies/coffee. A wiki page to list the committers and the proposed
topics is enough to start.
A paper flip board is good to get the table organization, last minutes
topics etc.

Those are all great topics for helping newcomers get started. If people
want to 1) see what new committer docs we have, and 2) also suggest
patches for it ;-) then start here, and see what things make sense to
improve or include in any training/intros:
https://www.apache.org/dev/
https://community.apache.org/newcomers/index.html
While some "how do I do X as a committer" information is elsewhere, the
bulk of it is available from one or two clicks from those two pages.
(And yes, we'd love it if any tech writer/editors wanted to improve the
intros and descriptions on those pages)
Just an idea...

Yes, @Aizhamal I agree.
Though, It is largely unclear to me the things that are core Apache as part
of commons and those that might be project specific. It is easy to take
the perspective of here's how a specific project works which is similar to
most others. It is another to dig into all projects. Perhaps incubator or
some other governance prescribes some bits? I suspect, at a minimum, there
are differences between each/all projects.
Ex:
Differences???
* user@ is not required (anecdotally, since Airflow just got)
* Slack groups
* GitHub
Common???
* dev@
* JIRA

Hi Rich,
We are doing a contributor's workshop for Beam in the upcoming summit in
Europe, but most of the content should be easily adjustable to any Apache
projects. For example, instead of subscribing to dev@beam.a.o. we can teach
them how to subscribe to dev@community.a.o. Introduction to ICLA, Jira,
GitHub and other similar tools and processes should be the same across all
projects. WDYT Austin?

Re: ACNA Hackathon - Volunteer(s) needed
Posted by Rich Bowen <rb...@rcbowen.com>.
This sounds like a great thing to have as part of the hackathon. Perhaps
cover part of this at the start of each day? None of these things are
specific to Beam but apply to all projects right?

Re: ACNA Hackathon - Volunteer(s) needed
Posted by Austin Bennett <wh...@gmail.com>.
Hi Rich,
Great; sounds like we'll plan on a hands-on developing things *in*/*using*
Beam. What about contributing workshop? It sounds like a Hackathon space
might help people understand things like: specifics of getting Jira
username, finding issues, ?signing ICLA?, knowing to subscribe to dev/user
lists, etc? Many of us not having attended previous ApacheCon(s) are
unsure the audience, alternate tracks, etc etc.
Cheers,
Austin

The kind of session you're talking about - hands-on, mentored workshops
- are awesome and encouraged, and do not, in my opinion, conflict with a
more passive "come join us" central hackathon space. Indeed, they
complement one another, and each should promote the other.

Re: ACNA Hackathon - Volunteer(s) needed
Posted by Austin Bennett <wh...@gmail.com>.
Great to hear this is coming together. I'm happy to help getting movement
from the Beam Community.
Very interested to hear concrete plans for hackathon, it will inform the
rest of what content we offer in the Beam tracks. At prior beam summits
(ex: beamsummit.org), we've had intro to contributing workshops, and
working with (hands-on) beam. We think these things are good for people to
do, though it sounds like getting setup for contributing code would largely
be covered in a hackathon? What about getting something working -- hacking
on a project (ex: getting a beam pipeline or something like a spark ml job
running).
Wanting to ensure that we don't unnecessarily have overlapping/competing
content.
@rob, @Kevin, @Steve -- maybe let me know as you start to get this worked
out. Happy to attempt to listen in on history lesson, should you arrange
something with @rich.

Re: ACNA Hackathon - Volunteer(s) needed
Posted by Rich Bowen <rb...@rcbowen.com>.
Awesome. It sounds like we have the three hackathon leads/volunteers -
Rob Tompkins, Steve Blackmon, and Kevin McGrail - which seems like the
ideal number for a leadership group. Do feel free to recruit more
volunteers to help with the work. I'll reach out every month for updates
for my board report.
And, of course, I'm very willing to share history, expectations,
insight, advice, and so on. And you, in turn, are very welcome to take
the reins and drive it in a new direction if you have the inspiration to
do so.
Thanks!

I am willing to lead (or to assist) hackathon coordination. I have participated over the past several years and run similar local events, so I think I have a decent idea of what needs to happen on site, and believe I can do a decent job of motivating project participation.
The more volunteers the better I suspect, as there will be a lot of threads to start and follow-up on.
