The big Kongoni Hackfest: Saturday October 3rd from 11am SAST onward.

Kongoni is planning a major hackfest event that will coordinate both an online and offline code-sprint. The purpose of the work is to modify our
kongoni_current ports tree to be compatible with the new FHS-compliant slackware64 structures so that we can migrate to it as an upstream for kongoni Cicero.
The code work is quite simple and even beginner programmers can join in – we will explain everything that needs to be done in detail and senior developers
will be ready to help out with any questions.
All you will need is a running kongoni Nietzsche of some sort, this could be a live-cd (if you have enough memory), a virtual machine or a full install, we
will provide everything else. The work is simple but there is a lot of it -so the plan is quite simple: many hands, less effort.

The offline event will happen at lead developer A.J. Venter’s house in West Beach, Cape Town (please e-mail ajventer@gmail.com for directions and to
RSVP), and will be at least 50% social, bring something to drink and something to throw on the fire. We’ll provide bandwith, snacks and the fire itself.

Online attendants (e.g. those who cannot be in Cape Town on the day) can join in over IRC. Connect to irc.freenode.net channel #kongoni, we will
have on dedicated person who will coordinate the IRC and face-to-face meetings and keep everybody on the same page.

This is expected to be a major, fun and very geeky chance to make a major contribution to a free software project that anybody can join in with, so please
feel free to join us on the day.
