Hello there, European (and other) Koha devs, I am considering hosting a Koha hackfest in Berlin/ Germany next year. It is not supposed to be a counter event to the Hackfest in Marseille nor the Kohacon, but an additional option to meet and work together. It could maybe take place July 2016 (very preliminary date for very preliminary planning), maybe 3 days or the whole week. Before I spend more time fantasizing about it, I'd like your opinion… - do you think it is a good idea (and you would consider joining)? - do you think it is a good idea (but you know you won't join)? - do you think it is not a good idea (given there is a Hackfest in Marseille and Kohacon already, or for other reasons)? - do you think you would have to decide between Berlin and Marseille? - do you think something completely different? No hard feelings if you say Kohacon + Marseille is enough, that would be very valuable feedback. For obvious reasons I would love to hear opinions from Europe (positive or negative), but if coming to Berlin is an option for people from more distant places, I'd love to hear that too. Cheers, Mirko -- Mirko Tietgen mirko@abunchofthings.net http://koha.abunchofthings.net http://meinkoha.de

Hi Mirko, Yes of course it is always a good idea to organize event to meet people IRL :) I am not sure about the date: some people are in holidays in July (but between March and October!). Looking forward to visit Berlin again ;) Cheers, Jonathan 2015-07-08 23:25 GMT+01:00 Mirko Tietgen <mirko@abunchofthings.net>:

Hi Jonathan, thanks for your feedback! I would probably set up a doodle vote to check the date, so that hopefully everyone interested can join. The basic idea about the date is - it should be somewhat warm (at least in theory) - it should not be too close to Hackfest in Marseille and Kohacon. So far the bids for Kohacon are May/June (Greece) and September/October (Philippines). After that decision is made, it's easier to pick a date. I think everything between May and August would be nice, September might be an option too (but I will check how September behaves this year before I consider it an option ;) Cheers, Mirko -- Mirko Tietgen mirko@abunchofthings.net http://koha.abunchofthings.net http://meinkoha.de Jonathan Druart schrieb am 09.07.2015

Looks great. Maybe indeed we could export the Marseille event, so we get more people at once. And it will be nice to see other cities (I go to Marseille each week). Regards, Le 09/07/2015 00:25, Mirko Tietgen a écrit :

If there is a hackfest in Berlin - I could perhaps send someone from the US to join in also. We'll continue to go to the Marseille hackfest too. Cheers, Brendan On Thu, Jul 9, 2015 at 1:00 PM, Mirko Tietgen <mirko@abunchofthings.net> wrote:

Awesome! Thank you everyone for the positive feedback. I will find out what location options there are and give you an update, probably after we voted Kohacon 2016 location/ time. Cheers, Mirko -- Mirko Tietgen mirko@abunchofthings.net http://koha.abunchofthings.net http://meinkoha.de
A little update… I checked location options and waited a few months to get rejected by the coolest. ;) With Kohacon in Greece in May/June and Biblibre moving their hackfest to October, there does not seem to be much room for a third "big" Koha thing in Europe during Summer 2016 anyway. I could "easily" organize something for up to maybe 20 people for a few days. In theory, that could even be done on a more regular basis and we could work on a certain issue each time with a group of people. Unfortunately the barbecue option does not work very well before spring, but it's not impossible. ;) One thing I would really like to do soon is dive deeper into speed issues. There is a lot of loops and redundancy in several places that would need some love. Other Topics welcome of course, in the end it depends on the people attending. I just reserved the room for January 27--31 2016, that is Wednesday to Sunday. So there would be an option to do something on rather short notice, if a few people are interested. I don't know if week or weekend would work better for people, so it's kind of both and we could choose what days would actually work. Starting earlier that week would also be an option. !!!This is not a fixed date yet!!! I have to block the room in advance, so I did. If that works for nobody, there is no harm done. Not 100% sure it works for me, I will know in the coming days. If you're interested, please express it in some way. Cheers, Mirko

!!!This is not a fixed date yet!!!
There was very little feedback, so my conclusion is it was on too short notice. Which I kind of expected, but it did not really cost anything to try. ;) Once I can plan beyond January, I will come back to this. Maybe we can find a date together that works for a few people. Cheers, Mirko
I can plan better now for next year. Two things that come to mind: 1. Hackfest in Greece will be 2 days, Kohacon altogether from 30 May to 04 June. We could do a Kohacon warmup here for a few days before that. That may be also interesting to people from outside of Europe because you have to travel in our general direction anyway. Flights from Berlin to Greece start around 100€. 2. Independent of that I would make another attempt at getting a few people over here for a little hackfest. Maybe around March, but that depends on when/if people would like to come. So I am up for suggestions, if you would generally like to meet for some coding and beer say so, if you got times that would work for you and others don't, say so too. :) Cheers, Mirko Mirko Tietgen schrieb am 13.12.2015

Hello everyone, a little update: room problems are sorted out now. There will be one short day (Thursday only until 4PM), afterwards we can either continue working in a beer garden or do touristy things. Apart from that we can use the room the whole week if we want to. Cheers, Mirko
