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 a dedicated [[:Category:Hackathon Materials]] | |||
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). | |||

The core of the Hackathon! | 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 [[Template:Hackathon Proposal]] and your idea will appear magically in the category page linked below: | |||
[[:Category:Hackathon_2020_Ideas]] | |||
Not got an idea? No problem! Have a look at the ideas above, comment in the Discussion section, and add yourself as an Interested Party for those you might consider working on during the Hackathon. There's no commitment until Friday evening. | |||

This is the point at which participants will decide which Hacks they want to work on. The sponsors of each of the Hacks proposed head of time will be invited to give a 5 minutes pitch to the group, with some questions from the audience. Slides/screenshots optional. | |||
After all the Hacks have been pitched, we'll have a little break for people to chat and work out which Hack they want to work on. | |||
If a Hack ends up with fewer than 2 people wanting to work on it (including the sponsor), then it will normally be dropped. This is to encourage people to work in groups - larger teams can get more done in the time, and have more opportunities to learn from each other, plus it's more sociable! | |||

Depending on the number of hacks, each team will have 5-15 minutes to demonstrate their hack, describe what they've learned, and what their next steps are. | |||
We'll finish with voting for the best hack of the weekend. | |||
