- What is a Hackergarten?
- Hackergarten Leader
- Arquillian Mentors
- Active Hacks
-
TBD
-
Find/purchase a router and terabyte (minimum) harddrive to set up as a nexus mirror/local file server, directly plugged into an ethernet hardline
-
Next Action: Contact Stephan and Andres and ask them 1. will a hardline will be available in the room? 2. will we be able to plug into it? 3. can they provide the computer/harddrive and router or similar equipment? 4. can they set up the nexus mirror?
-
-
Compile list of infrastructure resources to set up/download on mirror/filer server
-
Possible infrastructure/resources: Jenkins, git repos, AS, Glassfish, Forge, JBoss Tools, VM images, Virtual Box, Fedora Java spin with tweaked script
-
-
Once resource list is finalized, download and set up appropriate infrastructure on the mirror/file server
-
Team members should bring extra ethernet cords for tethering computers together (faster file transfer) if they have any
-
Write instructions for hooking computers together and sharing ethernet/wifi
-
Designate on-site technical assistant (can track down resolution of problems that might occur, such as an internet outage, missing cords, etc)
-
Next Action: Contact Andres and ask him if we should do information card with details of the event and how it will be run
-
Next Action: Contact Stefan and ask him if blank stock/tent cards will be provided (or enough whiteboards) so that tables/areas can be clearly labeled with what that group is working on for people joining late

Schedule posts to be released
The main idea of Hackergarten (German for "hacker garden" or hackfest) is to give attendees the opportunity to sit shoulder-to-shoulder with project team members and peers to work on a coding idea (i.e., hack). That idea may be one of their choosing or selected from a list of prepared ideas.
In general, the focus of the event should be on piquing the participants' interest in a technology and, if things go well, helping them feel that they contributed in some way or formed a connection to the project.
For the sake of efficiency and peer learning, participants will partner into small groups to work on one of the ideas. The groups will be spread across the two rooms. Mentors can float between the groups to answer questions or help code. At the end of the day, each group will give a brief overview of the idea, what they learned and where to take the idea from there (if they wish to pursue it).
A hack, or idea, may be a new feature for the core of the project, an extension or a new integration. To introduce a business incubator spirit to the event, the idea could be an new application that makes use of the technology.
Working on a business idea may fit best for projects like Drools Planner. For other projects, like Arquillian and Forge, working on an extension is likely the most attractive hack. For Ceylon, giving people a chance to migrate some code previously written in Java might work best, giving them a feel for the language constructs. We recommend choosing the style that you think fits best with your project.
