[Flightgear-devel] Please consider joining the Virtual FSWeekend Hackathon on the weekend of November 5/6/7

[Rick Gruber-R. <van...@ru...>]

Hi Folks,

Like last year the FSWeekend at Lelystad Airport in the Netherlands has 
been cancelled. Therefore, we would like to invite to another Virtual 
FSWeekend Hackathon on the weekend of November 5/6/7.

You can read more about what a hackathon is, the setup and other details 
on https://wiki.flightgear.org/Virtual_FSweekend_Hackathon_2021.

The hackathon is not only for hard-core C++ development. You are welcome 
to participate if you want to sneak peak in core development or are 
working/want to work on related generic functionality like Addons, 
osm2city, visuals etc. Your willingness to contribute and socialise is 
the most important asset. There will be persons helping you out. After 
all: we are all constantly discovering how broad and diverse the 
FlightGear ecosystem is :-)

If you want to sign-up, then please contact me either on 
https://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=39793#p392722, by PM 
on the forum or by PM on the FlighGear Discord server or by replying to 
this e-mail. If you are in doubt, do the same.

If you have an idea, then please have a look at the wiki article 
regarding Hackathon 2021 Ideas 
(https://wiki.flightgear.org/Category:Hackathon_2021_Ideas). I want to 
stress that coming with an idea is not a pre-requisite - you will be 
able to choose an idea/team to join.

I hope to be able to virtually welcome many of you in during the first 
weekend of November!
