What is a hackathon/hackfest?
by Kushal Das 26 Feb '15

26 Feb '15

>From [1]: A hackathon (also known as a hack day, hackfest or codefest) is an event in which computer programmers and others involved in software development, including graphic designers, interface designers and project managers, collaborate intensively on software projects. You will find a lot of misuse of this term. But please remember the actual meaning. Just teaching someone a tool (say git/video editor/vim), or writing few lines example HTML is *not* a hackathon/hackfest.

Re: [fedora-india] About details of submitting Sessions

Hi Pravin, Thanks for the information and quick reply. I also want to ask that: 1) As I am going to take kernel related session, is it feasible to use Virtualbox/VMWare Player on Linux or on Windows in which i will give hands on? In most of cases that I have seen for Kernel Compilation related activities chances of things go wrong (system crash, unable to boot). 2) Is it permissible to use distro other than Fedora i.e. I am having CentOS installed as Dual boot with windows? Like this: Host OS: CentOS 6.x/ Windows Application S/W: Virtualbox/VMWare Player Guest OS: Fedora 21 or latest one. Please guide me, Thanks !! -- *Cheers,Mayur* S.

Hi All, This is the first timing I am conducting workshop in FUDCON. From previous FUDCON experience (2011-Attendee), this time I have decided to participate as Speaker in FUDCON. So I want to ask if I am proposing workshop, is it mandatory to upload the presentation before 9th Mar 2015 or proposing session content will be sufficient? Seeking for Guidance, Thanks !! -- *Cheers,Mayur* S. Patil, Journey from Program Learner to Software Engineer, Pune, India.

FUDCon outreach - your chance to contribute!
by Amit Shah 13 Feb '15

13 Feb '15

Hey there, We need to reach out with our message of the CfP to various LUGs / mailing lists / institutions / communities that we think can benefit FUDCon by their attendance and speaker slots. There's an initial list compiled at http://piratepad.net/FudCon-outreach-list I'm sure you can think of more names to add to the list. Also, we need to actually reach out to those communities. The email should be based on this template; you can even just copy/paste the entire text: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/india/2015-February/005741.html If you're interested in sending out an email to these communities, add your name against the name of the community (so we don't duplicate our outreach), then send the mail, and then update the line with a [done] tag. It's simple and easy to contribute and help making FUDCon India a success! Amit -- http://log.amitshah.net/
