Instructions

For people with a project idea

For each project, you should consider addressing the following:

  • The idea owner(s)
  • A brief description
  • Any prep work for the project, such as developer tools or skills participants should understand

We encourage you to keep your project idea short and provide any additional details in separate document or blog post. This may also allow you to coordinate with potential team members via the comments there without being mixed in with any discussions on this page.

Project ideas can be registered on this Google Form.

For people looking to join a project

Please feel free to add your name to any project(s) you are interested in participating. Don't hesitate to add your name to multiple projects if you are considering helping multiple projects at this point. We encourage you to use the project links to contact the owner of an idea to discuss any details you are unsure about or even improve upon the idea.

Apart from any plans you make with the owner of an idea, you are not bound to actually participate in the project you indicated here. When you join the hack-a-thon on the day of the event you can check with other project teams and join a different project, if that turns out to be a better fit for you.

For everyone

The global virtual hack-a-thon is as much a social event as it is a coding one. This means a lot of the attendees for this event often use it to exchange ideas and discuss other matters in the general Alfresco context. To do this, everyone that attends the global virtual hack-a-thon should be prepared to join any of the commonly used communication channels for this event. In the past the main tools have been the IRC chat #alfresco (via chat.alfresco.com or a desktop client), Zoom, Discord, and Google Hangouts.

Persistent Monitoring for the OTBEE Admin Console

Idea owner: Luis Colorado, Zia Consulting.

Description: Monitoring CPU, memory, and threads is an easy and powerful way to monitor the Alfresco server behavior. Unfortunately, the data is lost when the browser tab is closed, the user navigates to another page, or the server is restarted. The goal of the project is to persist that data for the current user, so monitoring can be resumed after a restart, the browser tab is closed, or the user switches to other metric. An stretch goal would be to enable the monitoring on the background. Project Document

Alfresco Single Copy Object Store - ASCOS

Idea owner: Werner Novak, WeSaSoft

Description: When a document ist stored in Alfresco repository, the file is saved as ...bin object in the filesystem. When you upload the same document again, but in another repository folder, the file is saved as another ...bin object in the filesystem, even the files are crc32 equal. So the project should register this and save the file only once as ...bin object in the background. This in large organizations can save a lot of storage amount.

I'm pleased to announce the Alfresco 2020 Hack-a-thon, is taking place on Monday,  11 May 2020 from 09:00 UTC+10. You are all invited to join in!

Alfresco Global Virtual Hack-a-thons are open to everyone in the Alfresco community. While there typically is a large percentage of attendees who are developers, we also like to see end-users, managers and other people interested in Alfresco and its ecosystem of products (Content Services, Process Services, Governance Services, Application Development Framework, Digital Workspace, Activiti Cloud etc.). The projects being worked on during the event can also focus on any kind of technical to non-technical topic, such as enhancing documentation or defining business requirements for critically missing feaures to be discussed / passed on to Alfresco. The more technical people in the event also welcome the opportunity to be exposed to different perspectives on the way Alfresco can be used to solve problems, or to get constructive feedback on the projects they are working on at the event.

Attending an Alfresco Global Virtual Hack-a-thon should also not be hindered by your specific location or time zone. With no specific city / locality where the hack-a-thon takes place, people use various digital tools to connect and collaborate on a global scale, e.g. by using Discord, Zoom or Skype web sessions. The event typically lasts between 24 and 27 hours (best was around 30) using the follow the sun principle. We start early in the morning for attendees in Oceania and East Asia and go on until ideally the last people in the Americas stop to work on their projects. Anyone can join and leave at any time of the day whichever fits best their schedule.

Project Ideas

As always, we are using a Google Form to register,  list and coordinate project ideas for the Global Virtual Hack-a-thon in advance of the event. Everyone with a specific idea is free to register it on this form, even if they may not be able to attend the event themselves. Other interested parties can add their names to the ideas, and use comments or other communication means to discuss and refine those ideas further. On the day of the event, this also helps to point any new participants who may not have an idea about what to do yet to projects already in progress or waiting to be picked up.

With less than a month to go until the event, I want to invite everyone in the community to start thinking about what you would consider useful things / ideas to be work on / enhanced. Ideally, we have a list of a half a dozen or more ideas until the week before the event, when people can start to more specifically prepare for the projects they want to work on, e.g. get familiar with existing code if continueing an existing project or simply just coordinating who will join at what time in their teams.

Going forward the list of project ideas will be published here on the Hub.

Hacker Rooms

Given the global pandemic, there will be no physical rooms as in previous hack-a-thons.

Questions

Any questions about the hack-a-thon can be directed to Axel Faust or Ole Hejlskov‌.
