    Terni Hackfest 2015

    In connection with the second LibreItalia Conference in Terni, we're organizing the first ever LibreOffice hackfest in Italy on Saturday, November 28th from 14.00 to 17.00.

    Venue

    The venue for the event is:

    Palazzo Gazzoli

    The address is:

    Via Teatro Romano, Terni - IT

    Focus

    This is the first Italian Hackfest so we'd like to focus on "LibreOffice for beginners developers". The plan is to introduce as many people as possible to LibreOffice development. We want to make sure that:

    • attendees' laptops are configured so they are ready to hack when they get home
    • they know the basics of LibreOffice build system
    • they know which tools and processes are used for LibreOffice development
    • they tackle an EasyHack

    We'll give examples and hints for Linux machines, if you are on windows / macOS we are sorry but you are on your own.

    Getting to the venue

    Don't Forget

    • your laptop with at least 30GB of free disk space
    • a recent checkout of LibreOffice:

    git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core libreoffice

       Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get build-dep libreoffice
       OpenSUSE 11.4+: sudo zypper si -d libreoffice
       Fedora 22+: sudo dnf builddep libreoffice
       Fedora 21+: sudo yum-builddep libreoffice

    Hackfest Virtual Machines

    We'll use TDF provided VM in order to get Developers up to speed faster. We'll try to get their personal machine setup while they are working on the VM.

    See Hackfests/VMs Virtual Machines

    We need to give cloph at least a week notice. Default setup for machines are for 7 users, we may ask more disk space to fit more people. We don't have anyone knowledgeable about bibisect but if we need to use bibisect we have to specify that when requesting the VM.
