Something that I have wanted to do for a long time was to participate in an “Open Source Weekend” event where anyone passionate about Open Source could spend a weekend contributing to a project of their choice (or multiple!).
So what I am looking for is some advice or suggestions. I live in Boise, Idaho and we have a relatively active development group here (Boise Software Development Group) and we are trying to get a CNCF chapter moving. I was thinking we could have both groups sponsor/host the event in Boise.
Therefore my questions are..
- Do you/have you attended something similar? What was your experience?
- Was there any funding to pay for food/drinks during the event?
- How many days was it?
Generally, any advice would be great. I would love an excuse to just focus on contributing or helping out projects with their backlog or issues. Sounds like a great time and could be a fantastic networking event too!
