Great to hear this is coming together. I'm happy to help getting movement
from the Beam Community.
Very interested to hear concrete plans for hackathon, it will inform the
rest of what content we offer in the Beam tracks. At prior beam summits
(ex: beamsummit.org), we've had intro to contributing workshops, and
working with (hands-on) beam. We think these things are good for people to
do, though it sounds like getting setup for contributing code would largely
be covered in a hackathon? What about getting something working -- hacking
on a project (ex: getting a beam pipeline or something like a spark ml job
running).
Wanting to ensure that we don't unnecessarily have overlapping/competing
content.
@rob, @Kevin, @Steve -- maybe let me know as you start to get this worked
out. Happy to attempt to listen in on history lesson, should you arrange
something with @rich.
The kind of session you're talking about - hands-on, mentored workshops
- are awesome and encouraged, and do not, in my opinion, conflict with a
more passive "come join us" central hackathon space. Indeed, they
complement one another, and each should promote the other.

Awesome. It sounds like we have the three hackathon leads/volunteers -
Rob Tompkins, Steve Blackmon, and Kevin McGrail - which seems like the
ideal number for a leadership group. Do feel free to recruit more
volunteers to help with the work. I'll reach out every month for updates
for my board report.
And, of course, I'm very willing to share history, expectations,
insight, advice, and so on. And you, in turn, are very welcome to take
the reins and drive it in a new direction if you have the inspiration to
do so.
Thanks!

I am willing to lead (or to assist) hackathon coordination. I have
participated over the past several years and run similar local events, so I
think I have a decent idea of what needs to happen on site, and believe I
can do a decent job of motivating project participation.
The more volunteers the better I suspect, as there will be a lot of
threads to start and follow-up on.

Is the hackathon run all the days of the event?
Yes. All day, every day, in Laughlin 3. Round tables. Power and
network. Nothing else provided.
Happy to help on this one. As I haven’t owned anything like this, I’ll
need guidance.

I need 1 to 3 volunteers to own the Hackathon for ACNA.
The Hackathon has long been a central part of ApacheCon. However, the
success of the hackathon waxes and wanes over the years, due largely
to
whether someone steps up to drive it.
The hackathon has multiple intertwined purposes:
* Attract and mentor new committers
* Strengthen personal bonds within project community
* Foster cross-project cooperation
* Knock out difficult bugs/features/documentation projects
For this to be successful, the following things need to happen
* Projects need to know about it
* They need to prepare ahead of time. In particular, they need to
think
about what they will be working on
* The plan (ie, what we'll be working on) must be promoted both
within
the project (so that core project members show up prepared) and
outside
(so that curious people show up and play along)
* There needs to be great signage on-site, and we need to mention it
at
every plenary
To this end, I need someone(s) to step up to own this. I do not have
time to be the point person on this.
I need someone who cares about building project communities, is
enthusiastic about working directly with projects to build their
hackathon plans, and who plans to attend ACNA to do the on-site stuff
necessary to support the above. I need someone who is willing to take
the reins on this and drive it without much direction from me or
anyone
else, and just report back periodically on progress.
Please let me know if you are willing to lead this effort. Thank you.
(Note: If you're on the other side of the pond, I expect that Myrle
will
also be looking for someone to do this for ACEU, too.)
