Hackathon
The goals of the hackathon are: Therefore, we should plan to work in small teams of 2-3 engineers. The team members could be pair-programming, splitting up the work into discrete tasks for each person, or advising / implementing.
 * to get people working with ZFS engineers from outside their normal circles
 * to start work on some of the projects we'd like to accomplish

Hackathon ideas
''Add your idea and your name below. Be prepared to explain your idea at the beginning of the hackathon and enlist/entice others to help with it.''


 * Channel Programs - continuation of work from last year's hackathon
 * See project page, slides and video describing project
 * "get next file" syscall
 * iterates in object # order, opening next file; zfs prefetches dnodes
 * could speed up operations that need to operate on every file in a filesystem, e.g. "chmod -r"
 * Porting Party - learn how to contribute changes to a new platform
