Maintainer’s Guide to Hackfests
I just published the first version of the Maintainer’s Guide to Hackfests. It’s intended to be a short, practical guide for getting the most out of participating in a hackfest. As my luck would have it, this year’s Hacktoberfest — the event that inspired me to write the guide in the first place — will be completely different from years past. But there are other hackfest events out there that you might want to participate in.
From being clear about why you’re participating, to getting policies and configuration in place, the Maintainer’s Guide to Hackfests condenses all of my experience in 16 short pages. If you find it useful, or if you find something confusing, missing, or flat out wrong, you can contribute. Or just start reading from the links below.
