Hi Everyone,

In the spirit of even more running code, we are trying a bit of an experiment with the hackathon at IETF 96 Berlin.
https://www.ietf.org/hackathon/96-hackathon.html

The formal hackathon (if there is such a thing) will remain more of less the same as previous ones, running Saturday and Sunday before the week of IETF. As in the past, we will have a table at Bits-N-Bites on Thursday to share hackathon results with the IETF community. In addition to this, we plan to reserve some space in the IETF lounge throughout the week of IETF to help and encourage people to continue to collaborate with their colleagues on various hackathon projects and activities. This is not meant to compete with sessions but rather to provide an opportunity for those without packed agendas to make better use of their otherwise free time. We will see how things go in Berlin,  and we welcome your thoughts and suggestions on improving the hackathon at any time.

Cheers,
Charles
