Hi,
I'm interested in helping, withing the constraints of my own planning (I
participate in two talks).
Regards
Antoine.

Hi all,
A hackathon is being planned for Community Over Code Glasgow
(October 11–14, 2026). Many of the projects with content at the event
are being invited to take part, and Arrow is one of them. I'm
helping coordinate the outreach.
The basic shape: a dedicated room and a chunk of conference time
where Arrow contributors and interested attendees can sit together
and work on tasks the project wants done — bug fixes, docs, small
features, anything you'd like to put in front of motivated visitors.
Duration (one day, two days, …) is still being figured out — this
first year back at it is effectively a pilot to gauge interest, and
the worst-case scenario is that we block off the room and it sits
unused. Responses from the projects will help size it appropriately.
Four questions I'd like to take back to the planners:
1. Is there interest in Arrow participating in the hackathon?
2. Could the project designate one person as a point of contact for
coordination with the planners?
3. Would the project be willing to put together a short list of
priorities / tasks / bugs / topics that hackathon attendees could
pick from?
4. Once the date and format are firmed up, would Arrow be willing
to promote the hackathon on dev@ and users@ to drum up interest
and attendance?
Coordination is happening on the ApacheCon Slack #hackathon channel
(http://s.apache.org/apachecon-slack); there's a tracking spreadsheet
at
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oz41kRqhUoRV3PhcHcAdQNorBiFUZHzpdguBbtKZcA4/edit?usp=sharing
.
Replies on-list (or directly to me) very welcome — even a "yes in
principle, details later" helps with sizing.
Thanks,
Jarek Potiuk
