Hello netbsd-users,
today is tuesday, the 9th August. In exactly one hour, we will officially
start the 15th NetBSD Hackathon.
There have been two announcements, so this is the last one with a few
informations about the proceeding:
* General information and ideas on what can be done is found in the wiki:
http://wiki.netbsd.org/hackathon/
Of course, if there's something you find absolutely missing, just work on
it.
* All the main communication will be done in the IRC channel #netbsd-code on
freenode.
* If you do not have IRC and do not want to get it, but you still want to
participate: Just drop me a mail or meet me in person (I'm at the CCC camp
during the hackathon).
* If you participate, and you have a project: Please announce it somewhere.
Write it to IRC, drop me a mail, etc., that nobody else works on the same
thing.
Also, we can keep track of the work being done in the hackathon and
perhaps generate a nice statistic in the end. ;-)
* Of course you can also write code in the scope of the hackathon, but the
main topic should be documentation.
About how to participate:
* There are three categories for the thing that need work being done:
* htdocs: Can be checked out via CVS, as in
http://netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-fetch.html#chap-fetch-cvs , but use
htdocs instead of src.
* manpages can be checked out as written in the guide.
* wikisrc: You can check out the wiki from rsync://wiki.netbsd.org/wikisrc.
Just go into your shell and execute
`rsync -avz rsync://wiki.netbsd.org/wikisrc netbsd-wikisrc`
* If you are not a developer, and you have written or patched an article:
Please generate a diff of it (`cvs diff`), then drop the diff to pastebin
(http://netbsd.pastebin.com).
You can notify us by hand (writing a mail, telling in IRC) about this,
then the article will be getting reviewed and eventually commited.
So: Enjoy the last hour before the hackathon, enjoy the hackathon even more,
and thank you all in advance for the work! :-)
Regards, Julian
