The DINAcon Hacknight is a way to learn about and contribute to Open Source projects in a hands-on way. This event is open to all and caters to all levels of technical skill. Our focus will be on all projects nominated and showcased at DINAcon 2017, with committers and experts available on hand to guide you through to your first bug report or code commit!
Format
Room, refreshments and resources will be provided by a small but dedicated volunteer support team during a 6 hour mini-sprint starting at 18:00 on October 20. Teams that demonstrate dedication and potential to their hacks will be offered additional time, room and support to continue their projects by representatives of the community behind the DINAcon event.
