An announcement keeps things active and we don't need to give an invitation. People showing up isn't going to hurt us too much, and if they track us down that hard, we should probably put them to work on the project ;-)
If someone wants to write a news article taking what Tav and others have talked about, we can mention what we will be doing and what our hopes and dreams are.
Best Regards, Martin Owens

Do we want people showing up at the Hackfest? If not, if wait until after the Hackfest is over to allow devs to concentrate on the work. I think folks would be more interested in seeing what happened at the event with pictures etc.

Hi Friends, Should we put up an announcement about the upcoming hackfest, on the website and forums? (I realize it's already been announced on mailing list.)
Sounds like a good idea.
I found thispage: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2017 But it doesn't give the agenda - only where attendees will meet each day. (The Hackfest Topics page isn't written yet.)
If someone can give me, if not agenda, just a short list ofpotential topics, I can write up a quick News item for the website. Something more than just - fix bugs, stability, and infrastructure - if possible? (And I'll also make forum posts.)
I and Mc have added a few things to the topics page. Hopefully others will add more soon.
Apparently we don't need donations so much this time. But(announcing) it would still be an opportunity to keep the user community more involved -- even if all they can do is read about it.
Definitely!
Speaking of announcing, should we take another shot atcreating an advocacy group or team? Maybe after the hackfest activity is over? Late July - August-ish?
Sounds good.
Thanks for bringing this up.
Tav
All best, brynn
