FAQ

What is it?

In a nutshell, it's a pretty informal evening, we ask developers who have ideas or are already working on them to come and engage others to collaborate and code for your open source project. In a way, it will be like what goes on in the corridors, between sessions at a conference, except without the sessions. So you get to tell others about your idea and get new interested folks to work on your projects.

Who is it for?

Anyone who wants to work on a fun project. You may have an idea and need more help or are already working on an open source project and want to work with others, or you'd like to get involved in a new open source project and meet like minded developers. Or perhaps you've got nothing better to be doing on a Thursday night than hanging around with a flock of opensourcerers and hack.

What will be there?

Other interesting people to code with. A space to hang around in. Computers and wifi. Oh, and lots of delicious pizza.

What will happen?

Some people may choose to present a 5 minute lightning talk on what they're doing. Then little groups will form and people will work together on code! We'll encourage contributing good things back to open source projects, or maybe the launch of new projects.

What shall I bring?

The only thing you really need to bring is yourself. If you have a laptop you like to develop on, please bring that too.

Why is it in the evening?

It's intentionally on a school-night as that allows many people to attend who would struggle during the day because of their job commitments.

What kind of talk should I give?

Five mins lightning talk. If you want to bring slides or a demo, please do, but don't feel you need to - talking and/or whiteboards is just as good. Remember your audience are techy open source geeks. If you feel like giving a talk (and we'd love you if you did), please let us know.
