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 ? :)
oh, thx a lot. I just did that and it works fine. Now, I can see a few channels/conversations including the Hackaton one (it seems almost empty).
Do I still need to join the https://fedihacks.zulipchat.com/ to join what Snoopy was talking about? Or is this Hackaton conversation linked to it?
I hope this won’t cross anyone but the first few steps using Zulip confirm my first impression during my last attempt a few months back: it’s… dense and maybe even complex. One will need to take their time before they can feel comfortable using it, anyone likes me at least ;)
Heck, following the welcoming bot Instructions, I’m not even sure my little ‘Hi’ message was posted with the other ones inside the existing conversation or as a new conversation. Visually speaking it looks like a brand new conversation that was just just placed below the existing ones but somehow also not belonging to them. A screenshot should make it clearer, my message appears alone under its own title:
Oh I’m sorry I completely missed the fedihacks link earlier! I don’t know what Snoopy is doing there, that’s their own thing.
Thx for the clarification.
Yeah, I know what you mean. Maybe we need a more traditional chatroom as well.
