Re: [Inkscape-devel] announce hackfest? (advocacy group/team?)

4 Jun 2017

      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
