This event is an opportunity to contribute to the project, collaborate with other members of the community, and learn in the process.</p> <p>We’ve identified two categories of hacks that we hope participants will focus on:</p> <ul> <li><em>Community Need</em>: These are issues logged in the <a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS/?selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.jira-projects-plugin:issues-panel">Mesos issue tracker</a> that have received a large amount of activity (comments, votes, etc), and address some of the larger problems or pain points for the community. Suggested projects include new features, bugs, or documentation.</li> <li><em>People’s Choice</em>: These contributions will be voted on by your peers, and our guidance is intentionally open-ended so teams will run wild with their ideas. We’re excited to see what you come up with.</li> </ul> <h2>Forming Groups</h2> <p>We strongly encourage hackathon participants to use the public <a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS/">JIRA issue tracker</a> to log and discuss their ideas prior to the hackathon, using the <a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20MESOS%20AND%20labels%20%3D%20%22MesosConHack%22">MesosConHack label</a>. The <a href="http://mesos.apache.org/community/">project mailing lists and IRC</a> are good places to discover and share project ideas in advance.</p> <p>Thursday evening of MesosCon, teams will form and ideas may be pitched. Additionally, project committers will be on-site to act as mentors and shepherds throughout the hackathon.</p> <h2>Hackathon Rules</h2> <ul> <li>Actual development on submissions should begin the evening of August 21st and must not begin earlier. However, teams are encouraged to have community discussions prior to the event.</li> <li>In order for an entry to be valid, a pull request or review board patch must be submitted.</li> <li>Submitted applications must run.</li> <li>Teams may have a maximum of four contributors.</li> <li>A team may only win one category.</li> <li>Submissions must be related to Mesos in some way.</li> </ul> <h2>Schedule</h2> <h3>Thursday Evening</h3> <p>Following sessions on day one of MesosCon, we will hold a hackathon kickoff that includes an explanation of the rules, and a chance for ideas to be pitched and teams formed. Hacking may begin at this time, although evening hacking is optional.</p> <h3>Friday</h3> <p>9:00 - Hacking begins at conference center</p> <p>13:00 - Lunch arrives</p> <p>17:00 - Coding stops, refreshments are served</p> <p>17:15 - Re-explain the voting rules</p> <p>17:20 - Presentations start - Each team gets 5 minutes to pitch what they built and show it off</p> <p>18:00 - Voting occurs</p> <p>18:15 - Winners announced</p> <h2>Registration</h2> <p>Interested in participating in the hackathon? Participants must <a href="https://www.regonline.com/register/login.aspx?eventID=1533330&MethodId=0&EventsessionId=">register for MesosCon</a>.</p> <p>For new MesosCon registrants, you will see a checkbox at the time of registration.
