This is the home page wiki for Hackathon Chicago, Nov 10-12, 2006. The static website is at http://hackathon.info

The Perl-ish people -- who we are

• The attendees list is as complete as it can be. Make it more complete if you can.

The Perl-ish work -- what we do

• The projects are the reason for coming
• Hackers: add your name to a project.
• Leaders: add a project to the list.
• If you're looking for a project, then highlight your skills so that project leaders can find you.
• Our successes for the weekend!

Communications (human, email, and computer)

• Andy Lester's cell: 815-245-1738

• Add to the Tech Needs page if you think the group may need it but not have it.
• The hackathon-chicago mailing list will be used to make announcements and hold discussions. Subscribe and monitor it.
• The Hotel wireless will connect us to the internet. (If you're non-wireless, please add your name to the Tech Needs page.)
• IRC channel: irc://irc.perl.org/hackathon
• The SVK Mirrors page lists on-site svn repository mirrors.

Hackathon logistics

• The Todo list tracks organizational tasks. Add your name if you can help out.

Transportation

• The Arrival Schedule will help coordinate transportation. Make a note if you'll need a ride to the hotel from either the Holiday Inn (van Galder bus drop-off point) or the Pingree Road (not the Crystal Lake) Metra station. The hotel will pick you up on Friday; Pete and Andy will do so other times. Please make it easy for them to schedule their time by signing up; they can't read minds.
• Use the Departure Schedule if you'd like to coordinate your leaving.

Lodging, Food, and Meeting space

• Country Inn & Suites is the place we're doing this. There's a special rate.
• Pete and Andy are going to get lots of snacks 'n' food 'n' stuff for hacking. Make specific requests, we'll do what we can.
• There is food nearby for meals.
