Hi all,
Has there ever been an FSFE hackathon?
How would people feel about having such an event, or even a few small hackathons in parallel?
Are there tasks that would be useful to FSFE and can be completed in one or two days, either by an individual or small teams?
Would anybody have ideas about obtaining prizes, t-shirts or other support for hackathon participants?
Hackathons can be particularly useful for potential Outreachy and GSoC interns to become familiar with the free software community and also for them to complete small pieces of code that help mentors identify which candidates to shortlist.
Regards,
Daniel
This might be a good topic for discussion at the community meeting this weekend.

We therefore invite all active community members, and those who would like to become active again, to come together and collaborate. Seats are limited due to physical restrictions. If you would like to participate read all details on the dedicated wiki-page: https://wiki.fsfe.org/Events/2017/the-fsfe-community-meeting-2017
