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.
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.
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).
The shirts are only given to people who attend the event, and they are
worn with pride. Every shirt contains at least one developer in-joke,
so don't worry if you can't understand the shirt. Just enjoy them.
