patcon: Yes, it is ppl from taiwan work on projects for the benefit of Taiwan from afar, but unfortunately, the event will be exclusively in Mandarin.

I totally get that! Thanks! It would still be fun to be there. I would love to experience it, and maybe reflect on future possibilities for participation across languages, that might allow for lightweight and hyper-inclusive processes :)

You’re welcome to visit! I’m sorry the registration period is already over, during which I didn’t realize the existence of this channel, so we won’t be able to accomodate your housing and university provided food. We’ll order our own coffee, snacks, pizza, and fried chicken that kinda stuff though XD

Cool! Thanks so much! Ill try to figure out travel, and will ping you if it works out :)

Ah rats. My family is visiting Toronto from out of town, so I won't be able to make it. Thanks for the offer though!

I would love to help organize some kind of g0v-style hackathon event once i’m back in Toronto this september

Yes! Did you get a chance to meet Lia from Toronto at PDF? I heard she was looking for you

Aaaaauuggh. I heard she was looking for me! 😞

We seemed to have totally missed each other.

Hackathon in Toronto!

Yay! We do weekly hacknights (which are wonderful!), but I've been itching to run a more consistent (every 2 months) long-form weekend event

I worry that there's not enough time for wins in the short hacknight format, and so I worry if we're not serving action-oriented folks well enough...!

for wins?

Sorry, that's wasn't clear: too short a time to both onboard (welcome new ppl) and get work done. Some teams have figured that out but its a pain point

The hackathons in Taiwan are just one day though. People get to know each other by getting work done together~
