Hi all,
OrenBachman has asked several questions about how to evaluate the impact of Hackathon events on the Evaluation Portal*[1]* and I'm hoping some folks from this list can share their advice and perspectives.
Please read and respond there if you have input. Several outstanding questions are:
1. do you know of any available publicly stats on how many first time MediaWiki hackers make use of git/gerrit?
2. can you share any good strategies for getting as many attendees as possible to set up git/gerrit userids prior to the event?
3. can you provide any examples of reports from previous Hackathons that do a good job of describing various impact/participation metrics?
4. Safe space policy - How have breaches to the safe space policy been handled in recent events? How have they been reported?
I'm going to follow up elsewhere about the legal issues OrenBachman raises, but feel free to share your experiences with those as well.
Thanks for your assistance, Jonathan
