Hackathons

- -For many years OpenBSD developers have been holding hackathons -- -events where pure development happens. Hackathons do not have talks, -or a specific schedule. The event space and accommodation is funded -out of project money, but most developers pay for their own travel. -People will arrive at a hackathon to work for a straight stretch of -time on the projects they wish to, in the same room as the people -who they need to talk to about their ideas. Hackathons are about -writing code. +In June of 1999, OpenBSD held the first hackathon. In the months +leading up to this, either Theo or Niels Provos had coined this new +word "hackathon". A bunch of developers from around the world congregated +into a house in Calgary, and within the week had the first IPv6 and IPSEC +stacks completely integrated into an operating system... an industry +first.. an accidental scrape in a hardwood floor commemorates the event.

- +In succeeding years, the OpenBSD development process has benefited +greatly from holding more of these events. In our form, hackathons +do not have talks, nor a specific schedule. People will arrive at +a hackathon to work for a straight stretch of time on the projects +they wish to, in the same room as the people who they need to talk +to about their ideas. Hackathons are about writing code. At hackathons +there is an attempt to get new changes into the source tree quickly. Since people from many different timezones are in the same room, development is almost around the clock. Developers sometimes joke about returning home without jet-lag.

-Hackathons attendees come by invitation only. Some new people who -show promise are sometimes invited to see if they have what it takes. -Hackathons are not developer training events. +Hackathons attendees come by invitation only. Some new people in +the community who show promise are sometimes invited to see if they +have what it takes. However, hackathons are not developer training +events.

-Recently OpenBSD has been experimenting with the idea of holding more -mini-hackathons. These events are limited to a maximum of 16 people -and 4 days and focus on only one or two aspects of the system. -

+The event space and accommodation is typically funded by the project +itself, or the the OpenBSD +Foundation, but most developers pay for their own travel. The +facilities are always chosen to be highly economical. If anyone wants +to help us FUND ONE OF THESE EVENTS, please contact Theo de Raadt (who +generally has the most knowledge about upcoming options).

Here are some details about past and future events, also showing a part of the artwork from the event T-shirt (if there was one made). @@ -386,6 +392,7 @@ Apr 10 - 14, 2012
