Hi everyone :)
The first fediverse hackathon ended. We did translation, some wanted to create a new software or feature. Pretty cool for a event announced the last minute. :)
Usually the hackathon last few days and everyone spend their whole week-end on developping few features, documentation…but that’s not how i imagine it.
Two days is kinda short and only give a little boost. 😁
We will organise the fedihack at the beggining of every month. Our aims is to invite new users to contribute to the fediverse and of course meeting each other IRL and have fun like CHATONS do.
CHATONS (kittens) is a collective network of associations that purpose service based on free software. However, we also organize meeting, coordinate our skills for managing the server, or take action against big tech service as gmail, meet people and invite them to the fediverse.
That would be my dream for the upcoming year. ☺️
- meeting at a coffee, associations…
- translation
- wiki : admin & user documentation
- coding apps & software
- creating new software
- talking to people on the street
- fediparty
But i can’t achieve it alone, i need your help. I can’t organise it, that’s not my best skill. I prefer writing wiki, organize structure and suggesting ideas ☺️
If this project interest you, you can follow our chat on zulip. What do you think ? :)
The Zulip Chat
We chose Zulip for the fedihacka because it works very well for organization.
Example 1
You want to organize a coding session to add a missing feature for loops
Example 2
A user talk on channel “general” about indian translation, you can make the disucussion clearer :
And lastly, there is only one app & it works well. I had lot trouble with the fragmented ecosystem of Matrix…
