Questions to answer: |
|||
* What is our goal for our involvement hackathon's goals? |
|||
* My goals focus on encouraging attendees who are new to these projects to get experiences that lead them to make code and other FLOSS project contributions after the event. |
|||
Projects in attendance: |

* MediaWiki: Catrope, others |
|||
** Skills required: PHP, MySQL-ish, git |
|||
** Codebase: Large |
|||
** Newcomer quality: High |
|||
* OSM and Wikipedia: Kolossus, others? |
|||
** Bug tracker, but no bugs in it: [https://jira.toolserver.org/browse/WPONOSM#selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project%3Aissues-panel] |
|||
** Newcomer quality: Seems low |
|||
Things to learn about: |
|||
* toolserver access |
|||
* How do people register for the hackathon? |
|||
* ''seems'' like they register for the main conference, and check the box for July 09 and 10 as "Developer days" |
|||

* At least 20 total attendees |
|||
* Preferably 33%+ attendance by women |
|||
Groups to notify: |

|||
Other things to do: |

|||
== Berlin hackathon thoughts == |
|||
* Which projects will be looking for new contributors? |
|||
** pywikipedia bot + English Wikipedia Unblock Ticket Response System especially; Kiwix as well |
|||
** Find the maintainers of both; work to help those contributors organize their documentation and set up their lists of tasks to do/bugs to fix at the hackathon |
|||
** Look for and try to help address technical/social infrastructure problems with those projects |
|||
** Try to maybe create a minimal-tech version of http://linuxgrrl.com/fedora-ux/Projects/OpenHatch%20Reading%20Lists/mentor-page.png + http://linuxgrrl.com/fedora-ux/Projects/OpenHatch%20Reading%20Lists/reading-list.png for this event |
|||
* What is the required knowledge for new contributors? |
|||
** For each such thing, where's the hackathon-official doc for that? |
|||
** Who will be on the ground helping? |
|||
* Where is the list of entry-level tasks for those projects? |
|||
* Who will take the time to talk to people about their background and identify good first bugs? |
|||
* Ensuring that there are high-quality laptop setup instructions, preferably cross-platform, for the tech tools required for these projects, e.g. pywikipediabot |
|||
* Ensuring the schedule has time for laptop setup and that we find on-the-ground volunteers to help address development environment problems newcomers will face. |
|||
* What problems did people face in previous times? |
|||
** Is there a list of past attendees who we can ask an exit survey? A year later is late, but better late than never |
|||
