Hi, As you may be aware, the most recent Hackathon was organized by the openSUSE team at SUSE. You may also have read Agustine's recent message indicating that this team, which is part of the openSUSE community as a whole, does not have the interest to continue the organization of Hackathons in the future. Therefore, your openSUSE board is looking for 2 or 3 volunteers that would be willing to step up to the plate and organize a Hackathon every now and then. We (the board) are also trying to find 1 or 2 go to people within SUSE that have experience in organizing events and that will be able to lend a helping hand. Therefore, whomever steps up will not be alone. Also, SUSE is committed to continue to provide access to facilities such that we do not have to have a Hackathon at a coffee shop or rent a room somewhere. What is expected from the volunteers: - organize 2-3 Hackathons a year - document the things you do, such that the knowledge can be transferred to others - create a process and guidelines that can eventually be easily followed by other teams within the openSUSE community. Such that for example the artteam, the KDE team, or the GNOME team could pick up your documentation and organize a team hackathon in relatively short order. Thus, in the long run the vision is that the volunteers that bootstrap the process and organize the first few events turn more into facilitators and mentors in the long run. As a volunteer you will need to enjoy getting things organized and helping people with all kinds questions and problems that may be related to a Hackathon event. Thanks it advance to those willing to take this on. You may respond to this thread on the list, or if you have questions you would rather not air in public feel free to send them to the board.
