General organization:

During the hackathon we will primarily focus on work related to the data refactoring project. This is the third quarterly hackathon dedicated to this project.

Dates will be selected based on the results of a Doodle Poll.

Hackathon rules:

• Two to three days will be dedicated to working on the refactor project.
• One daily check-in is planned, at 13:00 UTC (9 am EDT, 2 pm GMT, 3 pm CEST) via the usual Zoom link.
• Communication can be done through the SasView slack channel (#code-camp), or through the usual Zoom link.
• All work should be based off the refactoring branches in sasdata and sasview
