First ever opensolaris Hackathon (..that I know of)

 
A bunch of us at BOSUG, and few others around the world, will be participating in the first ever hackathon in OpenSolaris land. Its a 10-4 event on the upcoming Saturday.

Topic for Hackathon: Writing SFE spec files for open source software and contributing back to pkgbuild/specfiles repository. Most of these will be software already into BeleniX (..the BOSUG sweetheart!).

This event is being organized by BOSUGians Shivakumar and Ananth. Collect very good tutorials on pkgbuild and the GNU toolchain.

Around 20 members are participating in the event, with the ambitious target of 15 spec files per head. That should be close to 300 new spec files if we reach the expected results! The current repository is around 400 files big.

The discussions for the hackathon have been taking place at belenix-discuss. Join in to participate in this fun community.

Thats it for now. Will update later on how the event went.
