This is great. And it is something that could generally help
people to start working on something. Some projects highlight
entry level bugs and do something like this:
Hi Tor people,
I would like
to propose an idea for the Tor open hackdays at the Montreal dev
meeting.
I
think we can improve how people coming to the Open hackdays are
guided towards finding some interesting Tor related project to
hack on.
If I
were a new comer, showing up to the open hackday I would
probably have a hard time figuring out:
a.
What are all the various projects that Tor is working on and
which ones would be most suited for my interests and skills
b. Who
are the people that I should be speaking to in order to get
guidance on what and how to hack on a thing
Given
this, what I would like to propose is that we have a very
minimal agenda for the first part of day 1 of the Open hack
days, where 1 representative from each Tor team (or project) or
anybody else interested in pitching their idea, gives a 10
minute max presentation telling people:
- What
is the project they are working on
- What
are some of the open problems/things they would like people to
hack on
- What
sort of skills are needed in order to hack on them
- Who
they should speak to
- If
there is some sort of semi-planned designated time and location
mention that too
I
would make the whole thing also open for people from the
community to pitch their own ideas and recruit people to join
them.
What
do you think?
