[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] Fwd: Doodle: Evergreen Hackaway

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi Alexey,

Thanks for the feedback! I just wanted to add some clarification. I 
think the expectation was that this would mostly be a remote hackaway 
that would allow DIG members to, at a minimum, set aside the time they 
need to work on documentation while communicating via IRC, Google 
Hangout or by some other means (Have we selected a platform for this?). 
For many of us, documentation falls to the bottom of our to-do list, and 
just setting aside that time to meet virtually was one way to force 
ourselves to get the work done.

However, since several active contributors to DIG work in close 
proximity to each other, we saw that there was an opportunity for some 
of us to meet in person at the same time that the whole group is meeting 
virtually. If we were indeed to plan an in-person hackaway, I would 
expect that we not only would do more advanced planning, but also 
implement a wider process for finding a site host and perhaps to find a 
sponsor to defray some costs. I don't know how it is for other DIG 
members, but I would find it difficult to justify traveling out of state 
for a DIG hackaway, and I expect that I most likely would attend other 
hackaways (if future ones are planned) virtually.

The timeline for this particular meeting was a bit aggressive for me though, considering the need to arrange funding, authorization and travel, etc. If this becomes a yearly or more frequent event in the future, I would certainly like to join if I can, but would need more time to plan -- probably at least 2 months, with 3-4 months being closer to ideal, if that's possible.
