[vancouver-announce] Getting ready for the Vanvouver Eclipse Hackathon

Hi all,

The Vancouver Eclipse Hackathon is next week!  Apologies for sending this message out to people not attending the hackathon, but this mailing list is the easiest way get in touch with everyone coming.

If you have registered for the event, but can no longer attend, please let me know.  The hackathon has been more popular than expected and there is a waitlist. I'd like to get as many people who can attending.

Here's how to best prepare.

1. Bring a laptop
2. Look at the projects and choose one that seems interesting
3. Set up your dev environment by following the instructions below for the project you might want to work on.

Don't worry if you have any trouble getting set up or you can't choose a project.  We can help you.  But the more people who come prepared, the more time we can spend coding.  We'll also be working in pairs, so if you really have trouble then you can just share with someone else.

The hackathon will be hosted at Tasktop's new offices in downtown Vancouver.

I'm looking forward to a long and fruitful night. See you next week.


sincerely,
Andrew
