About the Perl 6 Hackathon
The Perl 6 Hackathon is organized by the Open Days Conference organizers and Copenhagen Perl Mongers.
The hackathon is and aimed at raising some awareness around Perl 6 and to give people a chance to get some hands-on with Perl 6 assisted by the actual Perl 6 people. In addition, several of the core Perl 6 developers are planning to meet to continue work on the Rakudo Star release.
In addition to the hackathon we are running a short track of Perl talks as part of the OSD conference.
Please see the goals to get an overview of what we plan to achieve.

- To get a Rakudo release named "Copenhagen"
- Review existing RT ticket queue for outdated tickets, identify "low hanging fruit"
- Draft Rakudo Star release announcement
- Identify basic module packaging guidelines and protocols
- Review roadmap tasks, make sure things are on track
- Work on "getting started with Rakudo Star" materials
