Novell is once again sponsoring a Hack Week, from July 20 through July 24th.
This is an opportunity for Novell's Open Platform Solutions developers to use
their Innovation Time Off and hunker down and work on the projects that catch
their fancy.
Hack Week projects can be new features, new applications, or improvements to
existing services and applications. Previous Hack Weeks have generated
projects like Tasque, Giver, Debian package support in the openSUSE Build
Service, and many others. Hack Week is also a chance for Novell employees to
work with the openSUSE Community contributors if they wish on projects that
help improve openSUSE.
You don't have to be a Novell employee to participate! If you'd like to hack
on something cool and useful, you're welcome to join in!
We'll be collecting ideas in openFATE for Hack Week, so if you'd like to
contribute an idea, just go to openFATE[1] and log in with your openSUSE
account. Then select "Create" and add your feature, as well as any test or use
cases.
If you'd like to help implement one of the ideas, check out the features that
are already in openFATE for Hack Week IV. Go to "Browse" and select Hack Week
IV as the Product, and you'll see all of the proposed features for Hack Week.
Have questions about Hack Week? Email Olaf Kirch[2] or ask in
#opensuse-project on Freenode.
