Israeli QA Hackathon - 2009
About the Hackathon
The Hackathon is being organized by members of the Israeli Python, PHP, Ruby user groups and the Israeli Perl Mongers, in cooperation with several sponsors including Perl Training Israel. The Hackathon is an extension of the Open Source Developers' Conference, Israel, 2009
For futher background look at a previous hackathon similar to this one that was organized in Oslo, Norway in April 2008.
Purpose and Goals
The purpose of a Israeli QA hackathon to work on several Quality Assurance-related problems that are easier to solve when everyone is gathered in the same physical location. This can include issues with packaging, testing modules, community support but most notably the integration of the various tools. To achieve this we'll attempt to fund travel & lodging for a core group of QA people and try our best to make this workshop as fun, useful, relevant and productive as possible.
- Find 10-20 people that would like to meet up and solve one, two or more QA-related hard problems that can be realistically solved in 2-4 days.
- Fund the trip and the stay for ALL the invited participants.
- Make sure the workshop is open for anyone interested to join.
- Allow the participants to experience a few of the cool things about winter in Israel
Target audience
We would like to invite people from the QA groups of all 4 major dynamic languages
(Perl, Python, PHP and Ruby) along with developers of related technologies.
Do you know of anyone who would be interested in coming? Tell them about this!
