[Fohlen]

This is the official Hackathon 2017 ticket, which I will update timely as needed.

Steps

• [x] Find a city in which to host: Tuebingen
  • [x] Find a place to stay: private place organised by Fohlen
• [x] Find a host: FabLab Neckaralb
• [x] Settle dates
  • 6t to 8th of October
• [x] Announce via a blog post
• [x] Make press announcement
  • social media
  • maker, hackerspaces via mail or Twitter
  • on Riot ofc.
  • (any other effective way to spread about the Hackathon)

The blog post

The blog post should include the following

• a call for papers
  • I'd like to have at least 1, at maximum 5 presentations (given the size of the event)
  • as in 2015, a presentation about Inexor would be lovely
  • talk/workshop about the used technology is also very much appreciated, especially flex
• the dates for the event
• the "package" price, the package should include
  • the ticket for the-tent
  • a group ticket / pro-rata for the Munich suburb
  • (optionally) a "Inexorable" T-Shirt

[Fohlen]

a_teammate: as a sidenote I would suggest we make it really clear that we are happy for people to just strive by to get things explained without need to commit themselves to the project (thats one of the things I dislike about the word "Hackathon" btw -> I immediately think "nah too much work, don't wanna be there")

[Fohlen]

I have opened a fresh pad for this at https://hackmd.io/IYDg7MBsAM0GYFoCMBmApgEwQFm2MCAnJBgKwIDGFcSYIkwKGwATEA==

[Fohlen]

I imagine the schedule to be like this

• Friday
  • Meet at 5pm at Tuebingen Central Station (5pm should be feasible for everyone?)
  • Drive to sleeping place
  • Meet&Greet at 6pm or 6:15, so everyone has time to set up his place
  • Cooking at 6:30 (we better decide that at place itself, before it gets an outburst in a Github Ticket 🗡 )
  • Other enjoyable evening activities
• Saturday
  • Breakfast at 10am
  • Official opening at 11:45am at FabLab
  • 12:00-12:15 Introduction to Inexor (talk? Who want's?)
  • 12:15-13:00 Meet & Greet, Inexor install-party
  • 13:00-14:00 Workshop on Inexor Flex (I strongly recommend this)
  • 14:00 ~ 14:30 or 15:00 Food. I've been told there is a kitchen at VI, but we can order pizza too
  • 15:00 ~ 18:30 "Open Hacking", whatever that means (do music, code, images, textures, maps, story ideas, tickets ...........)
  • 15:00 - 16:00 Release of Inexor-flex 0.9 alpha (other administrative work as well, votes, ticket cleanup..)
  • 18:30, open end, Food & Chill either
  • at FabLab
  • at the sleeping place
  • at the Neckarinsel/Tübingen, it's lovely
  • later, do what you have to do
• Sunday
  • 10am Breakfeast
  • 11am - 12am Time for additional workshops or talks at Virtual Identity
  • 12am - 2pm Open Hacking (as above)
  • 2pm-2:30pm Closing ceremony at Virtual Identity
  • 3:30pm - 4pm Closing ceremony the-tent
  • later, get home safely

:+1: for the schedule

• [x] @aschaeffer Workshop on Inexor Flex

[Fohlen]

Following are the points for the administrative part of the Hackathon

• release 0.9
• write a blog post to the release
• check all the tickets concerning the release
• define a "Definition of Done" for tickets
• talk about standards, and the server-list proposal
  • if we can find a consens, decide a karma ranking table for the new proposal

answer from the Freiburger CCC:

hi a_teammate,

Sauerbraten #FTW

Terminlich haben wir am 3. Oktober Türöffnertag der Sendung mit der Maus. am 7.10 eine kleine Geburtstagsfeier und vom 28.10-01.11. die Small Hackerspace Convention.

Somit wäre Wochenende 15.-17. und 20.-22. frei.

Je nach dem könnt ihr euch aber auch einfach der Small Hackerspace Convention anschließen sofern ihr kein Problem mit etwas mehr Trubel habt. Sofern ihr wirklich "nur" um die 10 Leute wäre die SHC schon guter Platz. Ihr fändet mit Sicherheit Testspieler.

Gebt Bescheid wie es euch passt ich denke wir werden eine Lösung finden.

Habt ihr jemanden aus dem Raum Freiburg im Team? Wäre super mal vorher jemanden Face to Face zu sehen.

Gruß Tau

[Fohlen]

Let's set this as the new date, fix the location etc

[MartinMuzatko]

Somit wäre Wochenende 15.-17. und 20.-22. frei.

Meaning that 15-17 is the only weekend they can offer to us? 20-22 would be Wednesday to Friday.

[a-teammate]

I answered Tau:

I think the date is pretty much settled on the SHC weekend (27-29. 10.). Our current issue is the accommodation. maybe some "jugendherberge" (^= youth hostel) is giving us a discount.

[Fohlen]

Since there's not been so much activity recently, here comes my suggestion

• I can organize everything in Tuebingen
• we can stay either at the University (I have staff access to developer rooms)
• or at the FabLab https://www.fablab-neckar-alb.org/ (I was a member there so it'll be very likely we can get any date we want)
• we can stay here, http://www.jugendherberge.de/de-de/jugendherbergen/tuebingen113/portraet

Below is a Doodle in which (regardless of the city) please everybody should add his favourite weekend in October.

[Croydon]

What about Freiburg? I was assuming this was pretty much settled already

[Fohlen]

I wasn't quiet so sure about that. Anyhow my offer is not intended to block the Freiburg event. I just think it'll be most usefull to have an average statistic about what weekend is good in October, so that we can have a more specific look based on the date.

[Fohlen]

Since @aschaeffer will probably not be able to join us on the weekend, who else is in for a flex workshop? Should I do it? In case I do it, who else would give an introduction to Inexor?

[Fohlen]

The accomodation is private and probably will be http://tuebinger-lichtenstein.de/

[Fohlen]

How about we create a flyer that we can use, maybe @aschaeffer or @IAmNotHanni do think that this is possible?

@Croydon mentioned that some parts of the blog post are outdated. Can you fix these?

[Fohlen]

Since this seems all settled, I will close the ticket. I will try to print T-Shirts on Wednesday, it will cost < 10 euros. Please let me know via PM or mail if you want one.
