Hackathons and sprints
contributions to various hackathons and sprints
Sprints and hackathon are meetings that bring together developers and other interested people to work on a project side by side. Especially for distributed or virtual teams that are used to work asynchronously, this temporary change of pace combined with being locked up in a room together, can be very productive. In a few days of intense, dedicated in-person interaction, sprints and hackathons may boost a project in terms of new features, resolving long standing technical debt, trying out new ideas as well as help to improve group cohesion.
