It is a great idea, Dmitriy. Doing meetups is a great way to bring more contributors and developers on board. Besides, it helps the community's biding.
I'd suggest to plan for a few solid hours of hackathon only: 3-5 hours would be a good idea, but it might need to be done on a weekend (depends on the weather, of course :). Mixing it with the talks might or might not work well - I guess it is a judgement call, and depends on the audience. I would also recommend to start some communication in Russian language among the local folks and post the links here as well. I will help to spread the word among people I know, as well. And am looking forward to be there for the event! Thanks for starting this thread, by the way! -- With regards, Konstantin (Cos) Boudnik 2CAC 8312 4870 D885 8616 6115 220F 6980 1F27 E622 Disclaimer: Opinions expressed in this email are those of the author, and do not necessarily represent the views of any entity the author might be affiliated with at the time of writing.
