[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Hack-A-Way

[Rogan Hamby]

After much deliberation and thorough investigations of all submissions
MassLNC has been selected as the host of this year's Hack-A-Way!

I will send out a poll shortly with these dates to try to select dates for
the Hack-A-Way.



Sept. 30-Oct. 2

Oct. 7-9

Oct. 14-16

Oct. 28-30

Nov. 4-6



These dates are subject to change.



*Location*



Danvers, Massachusetts is about 20 miles north of Boston.  The meeting room
will be set up with tables to support groups of developers working together
during the event.



A computer lab and a smaller conference room are also available in case a
small group of people need to work together in a separate area.



A projection screen is available to display those who are participating
remotely. Bandwidth is also available to support participants at the
hack-a-way.



*Travel/Transportation*

Hack-a-way participants will have the option of flying into either Boston
Logan Airport or Providence T.F. Green Airport. With two airport options
available, travelers will have more flexibility in finding affordable
flights to the area.



Volunteers will be available to drive participants from the airport to the
hotel and provide transportation to the hack-a-way site and to dinner
locations. With three Evergreen consortia located in Massachusetts they
have graciously volunteered to help get people where they need to go.



*Accommodations*

MassLNC plans to work with the Comfort Inn North Shore to arrange
accommodations for participants.

The online rate at the hotel is about $140 in October, but the hotel has
indicated the price range can decrease to about $109 if we reserve a block
of rooms. The hotel gets an average of 4 stars on TripAdvisor and hotels.com
.



The hotel provides complimentary breakfast and free wireless Internet for
guests. It also has a sizable lobby for those who want to do some
after-hours coding.





*Meals*

Morning and afternoon refreshments will be provided for the hack-a-way,
with plenty of caffeinated beverages and lunch.  Sponsorships are available
if anyone wants to contribute through that way.  Sponsorships are available
to commercial and non-commercial entitites and is an excellent way of
helping support the development of Evergreen.
