Hi Groovy and Grails folks, Over the weekend, I was going to write a draft page(s?) for the hackathon for Community over Code Glasgow. What is the hackathon? There is dedicated space at the conference for folks to get together and have chats (unconference style) or work on mini projects. This lets us deep dive with other users of our projects and maybe even advance them along the way. Currently the hackathon main page is here: https://events.apache.org/events/2026/community-over-code/hackathon.html Once projects fill in their page, it is then linked from the main page instead of the current temporary links which mostly are now pointing to project home pages. Eventually, the page should resemble the one for Tomcat: https://events.apache.org/events/2026/community-over-code/tomcat.html Source here: https://github.com/apache/comdev-events-site/blob/main/source/events/2026/community-over-code/tomcat.md First question, do we want a combined Groovy/Grails page or two separate pages? Also, projects are putting together lists of potential topics to hack on during the event, e.g. Tomcat has created a list on their wiki here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/spaces/TOMCAT/pages/421958054/Hackathon+CoC+Glasgow+2026 Other projects are updating their "good first issue" labels in their issue tracking systems and using those as potential topics. If we keep separate list(s), our Hackathon page(s) themselves won't need frequent updates, but I'll probably include a few indicative topics on that page to entice folks to dive in further. So, let me know any topics you think would be great to cover or if you have a suggestion on where to create a list of topics. Thanks, Paul.
