Hackfests at Fudcon

[Seth Vidal]

Hey folks,

So, I drew the short straw and I get to help organize the hackfests. It
looks like we’ll have 5 rooms and probably lots of miscellaneous
hallway/lobby space.

We’ll call the rooms: ABCDE. If you have a hackfest you’d like to  start
up, let me know, I’ll update the wiki and see about organizing the
rooms/times.

What do folks think about 2 hackfest sessions per day one before lunch
(caffeinated) and one after lunch (fed and maybe more caffeinated).

So sessions  in rooms can be:

1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E

2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E

on friday and sunday.

and then everything else that can’t get a room. I’m sure some hackfests
will take longer than one session and I’m sure sunday afternoon a lot of
people will be leaving to go home, but I’d like to fill things up as
much as possible. So email your ideas and plans.

Thanks,

It would be good to do a review process brainstorm at some point; I
added this to the barcamp page a while back.  Probably no real
hacking, of course.

I know it draws away some of the attention from hacking in meatspace,
but depending on what the project is, I can imagine there are alot of
contributers who can't make it to FUDCon.  Is there going to be alot
of cyberspace interaction as well? Ekiga?

As much as the folks working on the various projects desire. There will
be working network access so interacting with folks online should be
completely possible.
