Hello, As you may know, NYCBSDCon will take place the weekend of October 11-12, 2008 at Columbia University in New York City. We will also have a NetBSD developer summit on October 10th, also at Columbia University. (The developer summit will be open to the public, so feel free to show up and meet, greet, hack, pgp-party, eat, drink, be merry etc.) Over the three days starting October 10th through October 12th, we'd like to hold a NetBSD Hackathon. The goal of the hackathon should be to get NetBSD-5.0 blockers out of the way (http://releng.netbsd.org/pr-list.html), though in the end anybody and everybody willing to hack away at NetBSD and pkgsrc PRs is welcome. :-) (Personally, I'd be perfectly happy with a "how many PRs can we squash in a single weekend" kind of hackathon, too.) Unfortunately, I personally don't have time to organize whatver is involved in getting this ball rolling, so I'd like to ask for volunteers to step up and making this happen. In particular, what I need is: - somebody to update the wiki that was used for previous hackathons - somebody to send out announcements regarding this event to the appropriate mailing lists, websites etc. - somebody to follow up on whatever else may need to be done to make this a successful hackathon We hope to have a room available at Columbia for those of you who are local. Details will be posted to the wiki page (see above ;-). If you have a bit of time to help with organizing this hackathon, you could do the NetBSD project a great service. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, though for the most part this is just a step-up-and-do-it kind of job. Thanks in advance for your help! -Jan
