The Pitch
Oliners (who don't know Java/Scala/OSS)
Etherpad. You know it, you love it, you miss it. Why don't you come work on it? Thats right, EtherPad is now Open Source software, and it needs some work.
October 8-10th we're hosting a Fedora Activity Day centered around EtherPad. We'll be working on packaging of the software. That covers technologies like J2EE, Scala, server-side-javascript, javascript, release engineering, and more. If any of those sound exciting, we'd like you to learn about it! We invite you to our hacking and to a few "intro sessions" throughout the weekend:
- Friday, October 8th @8pm - Intro to OSS development for Olin Students
- Saturday, October 9th @5pm - Q&A on how EtherPad works; technologies it uses
