Hackathon

The goals of the hackathon are:

  • 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

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.

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.

Event Logistics

The event will most likely be in San Francisco.

The specific location will be confirmed after registration closes and we know how large a venue we need. We'll update the site in late September/early October as we finalize details.
