[orion-dev] Orion Hackathon in Krakow 2012 (summary)

[Szymon Brandys <Szymon.Brandys@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Last weekend Krakow (Poland) hosted Orion
Hackathon. It started on Friday afternoon and ended on Sunday around 4pm.
You can find the summary and pictures
from the event here http://wiki.eclipse.org/Orion_Hackathon_Krakow_2012#After_Hackathon

Below you can find some stats:
- over 30 participants working in 15
teams
- 1 day of introductory talks by devs
from IBM/Orion (Ken Walker, Gosia Janczarska, Szymon Brandys) 
and Google Developers Group (Dawid Ostrowski,
 Konrad Malawski, Lukasz Dubiel, Michal Jedrzejas)
- 2 days of hacking
- final projects submitted by half of
hacking teams

It was also a very good opportunity
to collect feedback both positive and negative what is reflected in bugs
I raised recently
(or I will raise soon)

I had an interview with gazeta.pl one
of the biggest newspapers in Poland (they have a web version too)

I hope Google Translator will translate
it for you ;)

I hope we will have more such events
soon and for sure I will try to gather people again and hack with Orion
next year.
Of course I encourage others to organize
such events and I offer my help in organizing :)

Cheers
