OSGeo-Live Quickstart 48 hour Hackathon

25 January 2013

We are organising an "OSGeo-Live Quickstart 48 hour hackathon", aimed squarely at bringing OSGeo-Live documentation quality up one notch, by putting the Quickstarts through the same comprehensive testing and review that we have provided for our Project Overviews. (Credit to Javi and the OSGeo-Live Spanish community for suggesting the initiative).

The Hackathon will kick off with a one hour IRC meeting with everyone, followed by a 48 hour round the clock hangout, with people dropping in where appropriate for their timezone and work/family schedules.
