Everyone is welcome to attend the hackathon! Whether you're coming to the conference or just local, whether you're an existing committer or not, whether you're a coder or a writer or a designer or a tester, you'll all have a chance to get involved!

When you arrive at the venue, we'll have a board / display / poster up listing what projects are on what tables, and descriptions of the hackathons taking place. If you've already signed up for a hackathon, you can head straight to your table and get started! If you don't have a specific project in mind, you can consult the board to find likely suspects based on your interests and skills, then go and find the project table and they'll help you get started.

Sponsors

Microsoft are kindly sponsoring the cost of the hackathon, and Alfresco are kindly sponsoring the lunch and refreshments. Thank you both for providing the sponsorship to let the event happen!

When the hackathon ends at 5.30pm, everyone attending the hackathon is invited to attend the Committers reception, which is kindly sponsored once again by the lovely folks at VMWare.
