Oh, I see. See my earlier message about this. I've already spent a long time making a page that turned out blank. (Might still be on my clipboard, but now I can't seem to add content on a new page, to try and save it.) It seems we were both editing at the same time, perhaps deleting each other's stuff, I'm not sure.
Anyway I'll stop, so I don't cause a serious problem.

I've put together this reformed 2017 page:
https://inkscape.org/en/support-us/hackfest-2017/
IT's the bare minimum, but might be enough to continue on with.
But editing would be good, you can post to me directly or edit the page as needed if you've got some good ideas for replacing the text that's there.

Thanks for content suggestions.
Oooh right - I totally forgot about that page!
I could do some small updates to it, like changing dates, times, places, and the photo. But it probably won't seem original. Well, I'll do the best I can, in the time I have. I'll update it, and point the news article to it.
Thanks for reminding us, Tav. We Rrreally need to get that advocacy group going!
All best, brynn

Hi brynn,
Thanks for writing this up. A couple of comments:
- I'm not sure about the "This is not really..." sentence. It seems
a bit negative to me. I think something more like: "If you are serious about contributing to Inkscape then you are more than welcome to come participate..."
- We need an update version of this page:
https://inkscape.org/en/support-us/hackfest-2016/
to point to. There is a donation button at the bottom with the funds going directly into the "Hackfest" account.

Hi again, Ok, so nevermind about my previous question. I found a way to write around the question I had, since time is growing short for this.
First draft is ready here:
https://inkscape.org/en/news/unpublished/813/ Please feel free to comment about needed changes. Or for those who have access, please feel free to edit it directly. (and/or publish)
I'm not sure about the "best wishes" at the end. But my
thinking is hopefully will make users more excited, and feel more involved (even if all they do is just read it).
Thanks for comments, brynn

Hi - I think this message (below) got lost in the recent flood of list activity. (Unless the answer is lost to me.... Nope, not in spam folder.)
Regarding the news item announcing hackfest, please read below.

Hi Tav and all, I'm writing up a quick draft. I seem to recall from last year, there were a number of people in attendance who seemed to serve as searchers or resource-locators, or maybe testers, whom it was said had been invaluable in keeping up the pace of the workload.
Would that be worth mentioning, to invite that sort of
person, assuming they could pay their own way? If so, let me know some appropriate way to word it. Would be just "code testers"?
Or just skip it?
Thanks, brynn

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 this
page: 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
of potential 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 at
creating 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
