== Ahead of the Hackathon ==
== Ahead of the Hackathon ==
There are a couple of key activities ahead of the weekend.


=== Getting started ===
{{Hackathon Preparations}}
So we can hit the ground running, we really want everyone participating to already have:
* SourceForge credentials
* A working build environment with [[OpenSceneGraph|OSG]], [[PLIB]] etc.
* A Git checkout of simgear/flightgear
* A Git checkout of fgdata
* Some experience with Git :)
 
James and Stuart will pull together (and improve) the wiki resources to make this easier.
 
Ideally, we would have a couple of weeks upfront to identify articles that would be useful to provide rough guidance, either to update these or rewrite/merge them with other articles.
 
Candidate articles are currently being put into the dedicated [[:Category:Hackathon Materials|Hackathon Materials]] category.
 
If we can agree on a set of articles that seem useful (to walk people through the process of patching FlightGear to add self-contained functionality), it might make sense to reach out to the community to help with reviewing/proof reading and possibly translate such articles. Also, encouraging people to contribute artworks might be a good idea (screen shots, images, diagrams, drawings etc).
 
=== Logistics ===
Being completely remote, we need the ability to collaborate in teams as well as video conference as a group.
 
Merspieler has set up a mattermost server for the weekend.  We'll be using that for organization, discussion and collaboration.
 
We'll be using a private Jitsi Server sponsored by [https://ellyserver.de Uniki] for video conferencing and demos.
 
To use the server, plase start the Jitsi calls from within mattermost (click on that power plug symbol in the top bar next to the search).
 
=== Ideation ===
The core of the Hackathon!  These are the projects, idea and problems that participants will be working on during the weekend.  In the weeks before the hackathon itself, participants can, and should, propose things to work on.  Simply create a wiki page describing your idea, and encourage people to contribute and get interested.
 
Simply use the {{tl|Hackathon Proposal}} template and your idea will magically appear on the [[:Category:Hackathon 2020 Ideas|Hackathon 2020 Ideas]] category page.
 
Not got an idea?  No problem!  Have a look at the ideas above, leave a comment on the Discussion page, and add yourself as an Interested Party for those you might consider working on during the Hackathon.  There is no commitment until Friday evening.
