OpenHack - Code together. |
OpenHack is a meetup with a simple purpose: Code together, on anything. OpenHack works by hosting a meetup in your city that gets programmers of any experience level together to code.
- You can hack on anything! Any language, framework, public/open-source, personal, etc.
- You don't have to have an idea to hack on! You're more than welcome to come just to pair with someone.
- Start off with a quick round of introductions (every night!), to say who you are, what you're working on, and if you'd like help with your idea.
- Provide food and some coffee/drinks for attendees. Sponsors will help immensely with funding this.
- Someone has to host the meetup. That person is in charge of ordering food and starting off the intro.
- Don't go too late. 9-10pm is good. Focus usually wanes by this point, for obvious reasons! Maybe if there's interest head to a bar for more discussion.
These are simply guidelines for running an OpenHack, and they're meant to be forked. Existing meetups/hack nights (mornings too!) are encouraged to fly under the OpenHack banner! Multiple meetups in a city based on time or location are welcome also.
We'd love to hear feedback and see how OpenHack works in other cities! Just open an issue on GitHub.
