good to see the new documentation about Hackathons!

Would you like to publish a short summary on RIPE Labs?

We have published results of our own hackathon / deployathon last week:
https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/report-from-ripe-atlas-software-probes-deployathon

I hope you find it interesting -- it was very different from our
previous events, both for being online-only and for focusing on adding
only one SW to multiple HW platforms, some existing & some new...

We have used SpatialChat too, in addition to Zoom - for exactly those
reasons: it's more informal, and sparks creativity through being able to
be more "silly" and less serious...

And because there are multiple "rooms" available, just like in the real
hackathon. So people could gather based on preferences: languages,
projects, spaces to relax...

Multiple :)

1. Joining forces with other communities, and "piggbacking" with the
existing events where there is an overlap of participants:

CCC:

(I've already particpating "remotely" last year:

)


FOSDEM:

2. Organising an event focused MOSTLY on documentation!
Improving existing , writing new one, converting it to other formats...

3. Having an "Open House for Open Source" !

4. Planning the next RIPE NCC together? Your topics, our orga skills,
and facilitation / herding the cats together :)
