Hi Ross,

Do you have any updates on hosting a Rave event at Apachecon?

Were you thinking of a hackathon, a meetup, or both?  

Is a hackathon actually an organized event, or do people just sort of find each other and start hacking?

Thanks!

Hi Sander -- do you have any updates you could share on the Rave meetup?

Is there anything we can do to help keep it moving forward?

Thanks!

I'm talking to the ApacheCon organisers and there is room for meetup on Tue,
Wed and
Thu night 8pm so I indicated that the Wednesday night has our preference.

+1 for trying to organize the Rave Meetup on Wednesday (evening).
That way Matt and I can invite attendees of the presentation as well, who should 
already be interested, and more likely they will be available/around for the 
Meetup then as well.

+1 although those goals are only guides. Given that the room is full
of all sorts of talented people from many projects one needs to be
open minded about going of on a random experiment with someone.

Sounds great -- I propose we hold Rave hackathons on both Monday and Tuesday.

I think we should come up with a list of goals for the hackathons, but we should wait until we get closer to the event to determine what those goals will be.

Sander -- what day are you looking at for the meetup?  I'd like to propose Wednesday (which is also the day the Rave session is scheduled).  Does that work for others?

Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help get this event organized/scheduled.

For the Apache Hackathon a separate (large) room already will be available, 
including free wifi and lots of tables to sit around and with plenty of 
powerplugs too.

Usually this leads to a great and organic chaos where everyone is just hoping 
around, moving from table to table to sit and work together on whatever they 
want. It definitely is non-organized, and lot of fun :)

So, if we want to tackle certain goals, its something we/everyone has to 
"organize" themselves, upfront through email or simply at hoc while we're there.

The free Apache wifi available at the Hackathon usually is of pretty good 
quality and bandwith. And if there a problems, you'll find many of the infra 
team members present in person to help resolve them :)

What about space?  Will there be some place at the venue we can use, or do
we need to book a conference room at someone's hotel?

+1 We can pull together a few issues that would benefit from high-bandwith
collaboration.  We just need to make sure decisions, etc are done on the

I've connected Sander to the ApacheCon organisers and he's working on
it. Discuss here and that will help him set up the event we want.

> Were you thinking of a hackathon, a meetup, or both?

At ApacheCon there are two days of hackathon prior to the conference.
I would hope we can organise a bunch of issues we want to tackle
together during that time.

The event Sander is looking at is a MeetUp in the evening. The
objectives of which need to be defined.

> Is a hackathon actually an organized event, or do people just sort of find each other and start hacking?

The hackathon is whatever you want it to be. I've always the most
productive are to have a set of specific goals and to tackle them at
the event. However, they are free-form and nobody is required to
engage.
