Champions should:

  *   Before the Hackathon:
     *   Share ideas and any preparation materials or requirements with potential attendees via the hackathon list
     *   Recruit participants from associated working groups, open source projects, etc.
  *   At the Hackathon:
     *   Prepare a brief overview presentation to introduce the technology and suggest potential projects
     *   Make themselves available to answer questions and help others
     *   Hack on things themselves in their copious free time

As in previous hackathons, the presentation does not need to be anything formal and should take no more than 5 minutes. It often helps to have a few slides that you can talk to as you explain the project and the technologies involved. Please send me your  presentation prior to the start of the hackathon and I will post it using the IETF Meeting Materials Management Tool.

The Wiki<https://www.ietf.org/registration/MeetingWiki/wiki/95hackathon> has the up to date list of technologies and projects. New projects can still be added - just add your project to the wiki and send a note to the hackathon list.

Let me know if you have any questions, and contact me if you need access to the hackathon room for any setup on Friday.
Otherwise, safe travels and see you Saturday morning in Buenos Aires!

Cheers,
Charles
