Barcelona Hack Day

[victorb]

Time

One of the days between 9th and 25th October, still not entirely decided.

Preliminary date: 24th of October

Confirmed date: 28th of October from 14:00 (2PM) to 20:00 (8PM)

Who is it for?

Anyone from beginners to people who want a deep dive into IPFS.

Location

Currently undefined. @tomasdiez has previously offered a venue from Fab Lab Barcelona, so that might work this time around.

Fab Lab Barcelona - Carrer de Pujades, 102, 08002 Barcelona

RSVP

Please RSVP here as the seats are limited: https://www.meetup.com/IPFS-BCN/events/244344626/

What to do

I'll go through some of the basics from how to use the CLI/Terminal in general, introduction to distributed web and going through the major features of IPFS.

Then we can also have space to hack on IPFS things or really whatever people want to.

Who will be attending?

I will be there. I think @nicola will be around BCN at this time as well. If you want to attend or help out plan it, please write your thoughts here :)

[xavivives]

I understand that is a one day thing. To be defined between the mentioned dates? Or multi-day event?

[victorb]

@xavivives one day thing! Could have been more clear, I'll update it. Thanks!

[JustinDrake]

Potentially interested in joining! The later the better, as it gives me time to organise travel.

[erwanor]

Please allow online attendance and set-up an IRC channel. I think you could attract volunteers from all over (including IPFS devs/maintainers).

[victorb]

@aaronwinter that's a really good idea, will make sure that happens. Cannot guarantee who from the core-team will attend though, but would be good to allow remote attendance.

[fcsonline]

I'm in

[andresgutgon]

I'm in too

[nicola]

I will be in!

[tomasdiez]

yes! We could do it at Fab Lab Barcelona: http://fablabbcn.org/, need to sync schedule but is doable

[fbaiodias]

I will be in too!

[gtrias]

I will be in too :)

[krbu]

I will be in!!

[jachiang]

I'm will be in! Looking forward to meeting the IPFS community in Barcelona!

[nicola]

Only available dates for me are from Oct 23+ :(

[victorb]

So, preliminary date that hopefully works for as many as possible:

23th of October

24th of October

Venue still TBD

[nicola]

(actually can I suggest 24th? on the 23rd I might be on a plane back during the day)

[victorb]

@nicola assumed incorrectly you'd landed here 22th and would be available 23th, so updated now! Thanks 👍

[jachiang]

Dear all, is this IPFS deep dive open to all interested blockchain devs/enthusiasts? I would love to attend, but want to make sure my presence would be appropriate/welcome. Cheers!! :)

[jefft0]

I'll be there.

[dasilvacontin]

Very interested as well! 😊

[mariondita]

I am in! yay! Thanks :D

[adria0]

@victorbjelkholm I'm the organizer of https://www.meetup.com/ethereumbcn, please let's me know the final date when you know it and I will publish this as an external event in the meetup, if you want.

[victorb]

Finally have a solid date and venue!

The second hack day in Barcelona will be in Fab Lab Barcelona at 28th of October. More details are in this issue (top post) and also at the meetup page: https://www.meetup.com/IPFS-BCN/events/244344626/

Please RVSP as the seats are limited and it also becomes easier to figure out how much food + drinks are needed.

@jachiang you should for sure drop by, there is a lot of cross-pollination between the two worlds so would welcome you with open arms :)

[JustinDrake]

I can't make the 28th but I hope to see some of you a few days later at Devcon3!

[xavivives]

Same here ^^

[victorb]

Absolutely, I'll be there :)

[victorb]

This happened and was a lot of fun! Created a repository for all the information and some projects to hack on: https://github.com/VictorBjelkholm/ipfs-hack-day-barcelona-october-2017

Already started to plan the next one, you can register for it here: https://www.meetup.com/IPFS-BCN/events/244637091/
