Therefore, we've dec= ided to go ahead with it. Siobhan is working on the plan now and should be = in a position to make a formal announcement in a few weeks. In the meantime, I wanted to let people know that this is going ahead so th= at you can: a) Save the date. October 8th/9th, immediately after the European LinuxCon,= in Dublin Ireland. b) Think about topics that you'd like to see covered. We'll solicit for inp= uts when the formal announcement is made, but it's good for people to begin= thinking about this now. We'd like this to be quite an interactive event with a lot of discussion ra= ther than just presentations. We plan to have many of our key DPDK develope= rs there, so it will be a great opportunity to network, discuss the technic= al challenges that you're facing and help to build a stronger DPDK communit= y.=20 Tim > -----Original Message----- > From: dev [mailto:dev-bounces@dpdk.org] On Behalf Of Butler, Siobhan A > Sent: Tuesday, March 31, 2015 7:19 PM > To: dev@dpdk.org > Subject: [dpdk-dev] dev@DPDK Hackathon Proposal >=20 > Hi all, >=20 > As a community we have virtually come together from all over the globe, > developing now our third successful open source DPDK version with DPDK > r2.0 about to release. > It is astounding to comprehend the commitment and enthusiasm you have > all shared to bring DPDK to this point. > With growing the community of developers in mind, and strengthening the > networks and virtual collaborations that have come about, > I propose that we hold the first dev@DPDK Developer Hackathon this year. >=20 > Many people will be travelling to Dublin, Ireland for LinuxCon and > CloudOpen October (5th-7th). > I propose that we hold a hands on 2 day hackathon Thursday October 8th > and Friday October 9th to coincide with this offering, in Dublin. > From a community perspective is a great opportunity to bring together > the people that make DPDK happen - the developers. > From a developer perspective it is a great opportunity to be part of the > first gathering, meet some new people, learn something new > and have a lot of fun on the way. >=20 > At this point the agenda is open - so if you see merit in this proposal > please share your interest here so that we can gauge attendance > and gather ideas of what people would like the format to be. >=20 > Thanks, > Siobhan >
