[opensuse-project] openSUSE Hack Week
A couple of Project meetings ago, we brought up the idea of having an online Hack Week, Essentially, we're looking at doing a full week of a variety of one day hack-a-thons in different areas of openSUSE projects. NOTE: Calling it a Hack day(week) doesn't mean you need to be a hacker. I surely ain't one. :-) By the way, credit goes to vuntz for thinking up this idea in the first place before it was proposed at the Project meeting. Anyway, tomorrow, we have another Project meeting and I thought it would be good if we posted this thread to the mailing list to generate some ideas from the community at large about good hack days. Each openSUSE team should come up with ideas for specific hack topics. Examples could be, bug squashing, packaging, wiki cleanup, documentation, and the list goes on. Our goal is to have a variety of topics available each day of the week so that on any day you wish, you can stop by and see a topic that may be of interest to you and join in. Another note: Don't be afraid to attend even if you don't know a particular subject. The purpose of hack week isn't to just to fix/clean up existing stuff, but also to empower ourselves as a community by broadening our knowledge. So... Be as creative as you want, or as crazy as you want, but start submitting ideas! Let the thread flow now... More details about Hack Week will hopefully be posted after tomorrow's meeting.

Hello I already have set up my system as test system for fast boot trials for my gsoc application. I propose to have fast boot as a topic during the hack week.

What comes into my mind: - Packaging - Translation - wiki clean up - work on certain sw development (OBS, ARM support, openFate, YaST) - Marketing - QA - openSUSE infrastructure - openSUSE software portal From a date perspective - what about the week of April 20 - 25 ? I just created a wiki page, http://en.opensuse.org/Hackweek which might be useful to set up this hackweek.
