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.

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.
