This page summarizes the plans for the Spring Hackathon 2024.

Date & Venue

From 28 April to 5 May 2024 in Lausanne.

House is located at Route de Lausanne 107, Bourg-en-Lavaux [1].

Getting there by plane

Landing at Geneva airport, there is a train station next to the arrivals. All trains go to Geneva Central, then most continue onwards to Lausanne (about one every 15').

Getting there by train

From Geneva, Geneva airport, or Zurich: go to Lausanne and then take a local train to Cully or Villette (the house will be 10-15' away along the main road). Train schedules are here. I recommend downloading the most excellent SBB app Android iOS. Trains in Switzerland do not require advance booking.

Logistics

DO NOT FORGET TO BRING AN EXTENSION CORD (and an adapter if you are not joining from mainland Europe).

Goals

The main goal of the hackahton is to focus on

  • Discuss Hotspot permanent (across SD update) storage
  • Discuss availability of content: once we've started to provide a content, do we consider we have to do our best to continue to provide it and update it on a regular basis
  • Presentation of last boards slidewares and outcomes (redacted from confidential information if any)
  • Retrospective last year
  • Roadmap for 2024, for the next 2 years, 5 years ; post-mortem
  • What is/are the perfect(s) hotspot(s) hardware configuration?
  • Should we better serve companies (vs NGOs / Foundations)?
  • Should we better serve preppers (what is the outcome of the custom prepper image offering?)?
  • Should we sell all-in-one hotspot configurations? What is it? hardware + ZIMs? virtual machine? continuous updates?
  • Merge zimit / warc2zim? Merge youtube / ted ? Merge all python scrapers ?
