The hackathon will take place at the Orangerie at Grellingerstrasse 75, 4052 Basel. The nearest international airports are BSL and ZRH.

Agenda

I hear this is a hackathon, are you going to hack all day?

Although this is a hackathon, we won't be hacking all the time, there will also be plenty of programming and coding.

Time Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday
Morning - Helix Introduction & Demo Format Programming Documentathon Demos
Afternoon Airport Transfer & Arrival Coding Documentaton Coding Departure & Airport Transfer
Evening Set-up, drinks Hacking Team dinner Hacking -

We will have two documentathons; during these, each of us will work to improve the documentation on some helix component they did not write themselves:

  • What is the api of that component
  • Why was it build?
  • What is it good for?
  • What should it not be used for?
  • Are there any caveats to using that module?

The goal of this event is to improve the documentation, share knowledge of parts of helix and reduce the truck factor in the helix team.
