I proposed during the first IRC meeting to split the hackfest in 2 sub-parts, each of them dealing with one goal: * Hackfest part 1 = "become a Koha developper" * Hackfest part 2 = "do some hacking". We could say part1 is about theory, and part2 is about practising what we've learned on part1 ;-) (and of course, ppl coming for part1 would/should/could stay for part2 !)
I think splitting it would be helpful, especially if the two parts could take place in parallel somehow.
yeah, in parallel is a great idea, i think, and easily arranged once we get there... so already experienced developers can skip the 'basic' class, and start working on what looks tricky/important, etc
As many of us are painfully aware, there are some Koha support companies which are not participating in these events at all. How do we avoid handing them an advantage?
yeah, thats a bummer for everyone... :/ but hey!, think for the advantages you/me get for going to a KohaCon... 1 whole years worth of news, info, tips/tricks, work-leads, and genuine friendships with people in other parts of the world cheers, Mason
