contributors (new and existing) to work together on real tasks =E2=80=94 =
fixing bugs, writing docs, tackling issues that need focused attention, =
or onboarding new contributors.

with on logistics and who'll be present at the event.
>    =E2=80=A2 A list of tasks =E2=80=94 bugs, docs, features, =
good-first-issues, or whatever your project wants to focus on. This =
helps people show up ready to contribute rather than spending the first =
hour figuring out what to work on.
>    =E2=80=A2 Promotion =E2=80=94 a message to your dev@ and users@ =
lists letting people know this is happening and encouraging them to =
attend.

> This is the first year we're bringing the hackathon back, so we're =

committing to scale. Even if only a few contributors from your project =
can participate, that's a great start.

Even a quick "yes, we're in" or "maybe, let's talk" is helpful as we =
figure out how many projects to plan for.

> Also, please join us in the #hackathon channel on the ApacheCon Slack =
=E2=80=94 that's where we'll be coordinating as things come together: =
