LibreItalia Hackfest 2015

Dates November 28, 2015 Location Terni, Italy Website

In connection with the second LibreItalia Conference in Terni, we're organizing the first ever LibreOffice hackfest in Italy on Saturday, November 28th from 14.00 to 17.00.

Venue

The venue for the event is:

Palazzo Gazzoli

The address is:

Via Teatro Romano, Terni - IT

Focus

This is the first Italian Hackfest so we'd like to focus on "LibreOffice for beginners developers". The plan is to introduce as many people as possible to LibreOffice development. We want to make sure that:

attendees' laptops are configured so they are ready to hack when they get home

they know the basics of LibreOffice build system

they know which tools and processes are used for LibreOffice development

they tackle an EasyHack

We'll give examples and hints for Linux machines, if you are on windows / macOS we are sorry but you are on your own.

Getting to the venue

Don't Forget

your laptop with at least 30GB of free disk space

a recent checkout of LibreOffice:

git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core libreoffice

gerrit account and git integration Development/gerrit/setup

your C/C++ skills :)

an OpenID account (register to launchpad.net if you are unsure)

a https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/ account

Hackfest Virtual Machines

We'll use TDF provided VM in order to get Developers up to speed faster. We'll try to get their personal machine setup while they are working on the VM.

See Hackfests/VMs Virtual Machines

We need to give cloph at least a week notice. Default setup for machines are for 7 users, we may ask more disk space to fit more people. We don't have anyone knowledgeable about bibisect but if we need to use bibisect we have to specify that when requesting the VM.
