What is a Moodle Hack-a-thon?

A Hack-a-thon is a period of intense community contribution to the Moodle project. Participants are rewarded for their involvement and there is an opportunity for others in the community to sponsor such contributions. There is a competitive aspect to the Hack-a-thon to encourage greater involvement.

Areas of work

The following areas may be specifically targeted as areas of work for the Hack-a-thon.

  • Bug fixing, broken into two groups
    • Recognised developers (in the jira-developers Tracker group), excluding Moodle HQ employees
    • New developers (not in that group)
  • Finding fixed open issues or issues that have become irrelevant
  • Updating Moodle Docs or Moodle Dev Docs
  • Updating contributed plugins

Prizes

Prizes might be cash, provided we can get sponsorship. There might be physical prizes or credit to Amazon, Paypal, etc.

Sponsorship

Prior to the Hack-a-thon we might get people to contribute to the Hack-a-thon effort by raising funds that can be used as prizes.
