- Martin Nowak (5/10) Apr 17 2015 Nice idea, I recently had the idea that we should spent one week fixing
Hi everyone, This from the cycle "Walter's and Andrei's Crazy Ideas". We'd like to invite you all to a hackathon starting Saturday April 25 and ending Friday May 1st. The idea is to spend a week concentrating efforts on writing code for all aspects of D (with a focus on, but not limited to, D's github repos). Should be fun! At the end of the week we'll count the bugs fixed and pulled PRs and compare them against the weekly average over the past few months. If it was productive in addition to fun, so much the better! Rules are simple. Walter and I will observe them and invite others to join us: * The focus will be to either work on a project that has been put on the backburner for a while, fix issues small and large, or simply review existing pull requests. You choose (For example I will work on making std.allocator ready for review.) * Participation to forums will be minimal during the hackathon. The bulk of communication will occur on github and will be code-related. * Focus is on fixing existing bugzilla issues (issues predating this announcement). New bugs fixed will receive extra scrutiny to make sure there's no gaming. * Please no trolling/negativity. Do good work and good reviews. * Saturday May 2nd we "meet" on the forum for the week's conclusion, measurements, discussions, emergent PRs and proposals, etc. Pencil the dates in your calendar! Andrei

Also as a suggestion, the Python community usually runs "Sprints" on every major conference. Basically after the main conference for 1-2 days people stay and get into a room and hack on projects. I really like that format. I am not sure what the room situation for Dconf is, but if we can have a room +1 day, I'd love to stay around for a one day more and "sprint". - David

Think that fits nicely in here to also invite new contributors to participate in the hackathon.
