Hackweek 2022 - June 27th to July 1st

  • When: Monday June 27th to Friday July 1st - starts on Monday at 16:00 UTC.
  • Where: Main channel will be #tor in irc.oftc.net . The presentation of projects and the demo of them will happen in https://tor.meet.coop/gab-dpb-9zt-7tq

This hackweek aims to promote small projects that can be round up in 5 days. We will present the list of proposed projects on the first day of the hackweek and other people will be able to join.

In the context of this hackweek, a project is anything related to Tor that you can work with other people in 5 days. It could be a coding project or something to analyze data but it could also be a cartoon or anything that do not necessary requires coding skills.

We encourage you all to look for collaborators to join your team before the presentation of your project on Monday. This hackweek is for anybody interested in Tor and not only for core contributors. You can go look for people to work with you in other spaces other than Tor spaces (it could be social media, mailing lists, discord, forums, etc).

During the hackweek each group will meet whenever they prefer and work on its specific project. At the end of the week (on Friday) we will have a DEMO day where each group will present their work. Each project will have a pad with information about it, how to collaborate, where to meet with the rest of the team, etc.

Each project will list this information:

  • Project/team name
  • Main point of contact for the project/team (timezone you are in)
  • Summary of the work you want to do
  • Pad for the team (the pad will have all the information about the project, where the team meets, planning if necessary, links, etc)
  • Skills needed for the project (for example, someone who knows onionperf, designer, translator, code in rust, writer, etc)
  • Write down how people will be able to collaborate: any specific work that can be done by contributors with less time than a whole week? Does it accept people that can only put a few hours?

LOUNGE space

We will have the welcome/opening session on a BBB lounge room on Monday as well as the demo day on Friday.

There is going to be a lounge space in irc for the rest of the week so teams can give an update on their work every day.
