Re: [UG-ADMINS] Hackathon as a second monthly meetup

Both in PHPSP and now in AmsterdamPHP we held hackathon-like events, but
mainly we did TestFests.

It worked very well and was very productive, we had a good amount of people
and even more tests on both cases.

However its a day long thing, no use trying it in a meeting as there is a
lot of "setup" time before its actually under way. Maybe since you are
doing a "series" and you take that into account, take one meeting for setup
and separating into groups, net meeting "how to contribute" then some
actual contributing.. make it a process not just a one time hackathon, that
could work if you have a solid group and less stray cats.

Anyway. its awesome, but it needs time, so think about it.
